ISPF site-wide defaults are not enabled until the VERSION_LEVEL_OF_SITEWIDE_DEFAULTS field is modified.

The RESET fields mean that ISPF resets the site-wide defaults for each user. This is done once each time the VERSION_LEVEL_OF_SITEWIDE_DEFAULTS field is incremented. Users can change the values of their fields after the incrementation has caused the reset.

VERSION_LEVEL_OF_SITEWIDE_DEFAULTS

This field indicates the modification level of the current site-wide defaults values. This field is set to 43000 initially by ISPF and will not be changed with new versions of ISPF. Each time you modify any of the sitewide defaults, increment this value by 1. For example, the first time you change any defaults you should set this field to 43001. This value is then saved in the ISPF system profile table.

When ISPF is initialized it checks the value saved in the system profile against the value in this field. If the value of this field is greater than that in the system profile, ISPF will use the values specified here. You must increment this value every time you modify a default or it will not be picked up by ISPF.

One possible use for this could be to reset the value of the ISPF ZSTART profile variable. Note that neither ZSTART nor any other start option is processed when this command table entry is invoked. Therefore the invoked function should process ZSTART or other option. ZSTART, or the option, is appended to any other parameters that may be passed via this keyword. The command table entry name plus all arguments is truncated if the length exceeds 255 bytes.
