Panel ISPYFP, the normal panel displayed with option 7.1, requires extra scrolling to display some of the test entry fields and options. Because this can be inconvenient, ISPF provides alternate panels for ISPYFP. The alternate panels present all of the same entry fields and options in revised formats.

Panel ISPYFPA places most of the commonly used information within the first 24 panel lines. This format often eliminates the need for panel scrolling.

Panel ISPYFPB is similar to panel ISPYFPA, but it has a selection field that enables the user to select a function: panel, command, program, or request. Unlike panels ISPYFP or ISPYFPA, on panel ISPYFPB the panel, command, program, or request fields can all contain values.

All three panels are included in the product panel library. To select which panel to use, set the ISPF Configuration table keyword USE_ALTERNATE_DIALOG_TEST_PANEL to one of these options:

1

ISPYFP panel

2

ISPYFPA panel

3

ISPYFPB panel
