z/OS ISPF Messages and Codes
SC19-3622-00

The following tools ship with ISPF as samples.
ISRABEND
A CLIST that provides a step-by-step explanation of how to diagnose an abend interactively. It uses TSO TEST to gather the information that the IBM® support organization normally requires.
ISRCSECT
A REXX exec used in conjunction with ISRTCB exec. It takes the entry point of a load module and begins searching for a specific CSECT. If it finds one, the exec displays the CSECT's eye-catcher.
ISRFIND
A REXX exec that issues a LISTA STATUS and searches for a specified member or load module. Also, the exec optionally calls AMBLIST to check the MODIFIED, FIXED, and PAGEABLE LPAs and checks LPALIST and LNKLST (pointed to by system control blocks) for the specified load module. If invoked under ISPF, the information is displayed via an ISPF table display (panel ISRFINDP) and allows the user to BROWSE or EDIT the specified member.
ISRPOINT
A REXX exec used in conjunction with the ISRTCB exec. This exec uses the entry point address obtained from ISRTCB and lists the CSECT eye-catchers associated with that load module.
ISRTCB
A REXX exec that emulates the TSO TEST command LISTMAP. It lists the TCBs and the load modules (with their entry points) associated with each TCB, without using TSO TEST.
ISRTEST
A CLIST that uses TSO TEST to load the job pack area (JPA) and set breakpoints on entry to a specific ISPF or PDF CSECT. This allows for the verification of the compilation date associated with the CSECT with the most recent maintenance level for that version or release. Additionally, you can modify this sample to set specific breakpoints within the CSECT to identify the failing instruction.
