With SCLM functions, you can view, create, update, delete, compile, link, promote, and report on data stored in the database of a project. In addition, you can generate reports with the build, promote, and utilities functions.

This chapter describes the panels and options you use to access SCLM functions and to generate reports. It also compares SCLM to ISPF and notes the differences in the EDIT environment under both utilities.

You can access all interactive SCLM functions through a set of panels by selecting the SCLM option from the ISPF Primary Option Menu. In addition to the SCLM panel interface, you can call a subset of SCLM functions independently with a command line processor or a program service interface. See Invoking the SCLM services for more information.
