The member name ISPMENU will cause all of the panels with the Menu
action bar item to be converted.
When the interactive panel is displayed, change the data set names
shown as required for your installation. Fill in the name of your
input and output files where indicated. The first DTL source file
should contain any local panel modifications. The second DTL source
file contains the product panel source. The third DTL source file
contains the conversion list member ISPMENU.
Note: The current language
selection appears on all screens. A different language can be selected
from the action bar.
After typing in your file names, scroll to the next screen (Figure 2).

Note: ISPF product panels require that the options "Preserve leading
ENTITY blanks when "space" is not specified" and "Process multiple
line comment blocks" be selected as shown in the figures here.
If a double byte language conversion is in process, the DBCS and
KANA options might be required.
If you are recompiling the English version of the panels, a second
conversion should be made for the uppercased English panels. You will
need to enter a different output panel library name and select the
UPPERENG language from the action bar. All of the other panel information
and options should be the same as the first conversion.
