Required option entry panel variables

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

These dialog variables are explicitly required and must be defined either in the )BODY, )PROC or )INIT section of the suboption panel displayed by ISRFPR. For example, if your application does not require libraries two through four, initialize LIB2, LIB3, and LIB4 to the system variable &Z (blank) in the )INIT section of the suboption panel. This would fill the requirement and allow you to leave these fields out the )BODY section of the suboption panel.
PRJ1
ISPF project name
LIB1
First ISPF library
TYP1
ISPF library type (initially set to nulls in ISRFPR)
MEM
ISPF member name (required if DSN is blank)
DSN
"Other" data set name
ZSEL
Selection string used by ISRFPR to select either a CLIST (CMD) or a program (PGM) with parameters.
LIB2
Second ISPF library
LIB3
Third ISPF library
LIB4
Fourth ISPF library
This field is optional:
PSWD
OS password
The ISRFPR program verifies and processes these variables and then stores these variables in the shared variable pool, so that they can be referenced by the selected CLIST or program.
ZDSQMEM
fully qualified input data set name (without quotes), with the member name in parentheses.
ZDSQ
fully qualified input data set name (without quotes), for the first input data set (without member name)
ZDSQ2
Same as ZDSQ for the second input data set (library)
ZDSQ3
Same as ZDSQ for the third input data set (library)
ZDSQ4
Same as ZDSQ for the fourth input data set (library
ZDS
Same as ZDSQ without the last qualifier (if ZDSQ has only a one level qualifier, then ZDSQ = ZDS.)
ZDS2
Same as ZDS for the second input data set (library)
ZDS3
Same as ZDS for the third input data set (library)
ZDS4
Same as ZDS for the fourth input data set (library)
ZMEM
Input member name (blank for a sequential data set)
ZORG
Input data set organization:
  • PO=partitioned
  • PS=sequential
Note: If an asterisk (*) is entered as the member name (from the option panel), ISRFPR does not process the member name. Instead, it sets the ZMEM variable to blank. The CLIST must handle this case.
