Define Unit of Work list commands

z/OS ISPF Software Configuration and Library Manager Guide and Reference
SC19-3625-00

In the SCLM Unit of Work List Commands panel, you can specify up to eight user-defined line commands that will appear on the UOW Member List panel for the current project.

There are 3 levels of Unit of Work list commands. These are:

User-defined
When you create your own Unit of Work list commands, they are saved as a member in your ISPF user profile data set. The member name is derived from the current project qualifier. If the project name is 7 characters or less, a "Y" is added to the beginning of the member name. If the project name is 8 characters, the first letter of the project is changed to "Y". If the project name is 8 characters and it already starts with a "Y", the second letter is changed to a "Y". For example:
Project qualifier = HLASM, Member = YHLASM
Project qualifier = HLASMKIT, Member = YLASMKIT
Project qualifier = YEAR2000, Member = YYAR2000

In this way, each user can create a set of Unit of Work list commands that are specific to each project.

Project-defined
Your project administrator can create a project-wide set of Unit of Work List Commands by using these options to create a user list, then copying the project member from their ISPPROF DDNAME, to a library that is allocated to ISPTLIB ahead of the ISPF libraries.
ISPF-supplied
This currently contains a single default entry, Versions. The member is stored in the ISPF-supplied library allocated to ISPTLIB.

The order of precedence is:

User -> Project -> ISPF

When the SCLM Unit of Work List Commands panel is displayed, SCLM looks for a member in the user's profile data set that matches the naming convention for the current project. If it does not find this member, it will look in the ISPTLIB project library, and then in the ISPF library.

The fields on the SCLM Unit of Work List Commands panel are:

LC
The character that is to be entered to select this command.
Descr
The keyword that will be displayed to represent this command.
Function
The name of the function that will be invoked.
Type
The type of function. This can be either CMD, PANEL, or PGM.
Status
The comment that will be placed in the status field when the command has successfully executed.

When you first open this panel, SCLM displays any project-defined list of commands. If there is no project-defined list, the ISPF default list is displayed. If you make and save any changes to either of these lists, a copy of the displayed list is saved into your user profile data set.

You can enter a maximum of 8 lines (commands). To define a valid command, all the fields must be filled in. If you overtype a line with blanks, the line is deleted. Only completed lines are saved.

If you delete all the lines in your user-defined Unit of Work list commands data set, the member is deleted and the project-defined list becomes the default list. This is displayed when you reopen the panel. If there is no project-defined list, the ISPF default list is used.
