Converting LMF dialogs to SCLM

z/OS ISPF Planning and Customizing
GC19-3623-00

There were eight ISPF services relating to LMF. Some of these have SCLM equivalents, some do not because of the differences between SCLM and LMF. The eight services are:
LMPROM
Use the SCLM PROMOTE service.
EDIT with the LOCK parameter
Use the SCLM EDIT service.
LMMFIND with the LOCK parameter.
Use the SCLM LOCK service if locking is required. Use the DBUTIL service to find members in an SCLM project. ISPF services which use the LOCK keyword can also be modified to remove the keyword. Alternatively, you can use the ISPF Configuration option FAIL_ON_LMF_LOCK. If this option is set to NO, dialogs will continue to operate correctly without code modifications.
LMCOPY with the LOCK parameter
Use the SCLM LOCK service, then use LMCOPY to copy the member.
LMHIER
Use the SCLM NEXTGRP service. The NEXTGRP service returns the target group for a specified group. To simulate the data returned by LMHIER, loop on the NEXTGRP service until a return code greater than zero is returned. See SCLM example FLMNXTGP in ISP.SISPSAMP for an example.
LMREVIEW
There is no equivalent function in SCLM because the project control information is much different. Information about the contents of the hierarchy can be obtained using the SCLM DBUTIL service.
LMACT and LMDEACT
SCLM does not follow the concept of active and inactive projects. Updates are done by updating the SCLM project definition, then reassembling and relinking to create an updated load module. This load module is accessed when you enter SCLM (or exit and reenter, if SCLM is active when the new module is built).
