You can specify a concatenated sequence of up to four ISPF libraries,
but the libraries must have been previously allocated to ISPF with
the Data Set utility (3.2).
The fields on this panel are: - Project
- The common identifier for all ISPF libraries belonging to the
same programming project.
- Group
- The identifier for the particular set of ISPF libraries; that
is, the level of the libraries within the library hierarchy.
You
can specify a concatenated sequence of up to four existing ISPF libraries.
The
editor searches the ISPF libraries in the designated order to find
the member and copies it into working storage. If the editor does
not find the member in the library, it creates a new member with the
specified name.
When you save the edited member, the editor
places or replaces it in the first ISPF library in the concatenation
sequence, regardless of which library it was copied from.
- Type
- The identifier for the type of information in the ISPF library.
- Member
- The name of an ISPF library or other partitioned data set member.
Leaving this field blank or entering a pattern causes PDF to display
a member list. See z/OS ISPF User's Guide Vol I if
you need information about entering patterns.
- Name
- Any fully qualified data set name or z/OS® UNIX file
path name.
For more details about the Name field, see the "ISPF Libraries and Data Sets" topic of the z/OS ISPF User's Guide Vol I.
- Volume Serial
- A real DASD
volume or a virtual volume residing on an IBM® 3850 Mass Storage System. To access 3850
virtual volumes, you must also have MOUNT authority, which is acquired
through the TSO ACCOUNT command.
- Workstation File:
- If you have made a connection to the workstation, you can specify
a workstation file name, for example C: \AUTOEXEC.BAT, in this field.
- Initial Macro
- You can specify a macro to be processed before you begin editing
your sequential data set or any member of a partitioned data set.
This initial macro allows you to set up a particular editing environment
for the Edit session you are beginning. This initial macro overrides
any IMACRO value in your profile.
If you leave the Initial Macro
field blank and your edit profile includes an initial macro specification,
the initial macro from your edit profile is processed.
If
you want to suppress an initial macro in your edit profile, type NONE in
the Initial Macro field. See the topics about Initial Macros and the
IMACRO primary command in the z/OS ISPF Edit and Edit Macros for
more details.
- Profile Name
- The name of an edit profile, which you can use to override the
default edit profile. See the topics about Edit Profiles and the edit
environment in the z/OS ISPF Edit and Edit Macros.
- Format Name
- The name of a format definition or blank if no format is to be
used.
- Data Set Password
- The password for OS password-protected data sets. This
is not your RACF® password.
- Record Length
- Applicable when editing a z/OS UNIX file. ISPF normally treats z/OS UNIX files
as having variable length records. This field allows you to specify
a record length which is used by the editor to load the records from
the file into the edit session as fixed-length records. When the file
is saved, it is saved with fixed-length records. The Record Length
field allows you to convert a variable-length file to fixed length.
The value specified in this field must be able to accommodate the
largest record in the file. If the editor finds a record that is larger
than the length specified, an error message is displayed and the edit
session does not proceed.
- Line Macro Table
- Use this field to define a set of user line commands that you
can use during the edit session. The table you specify can be generated
using the ISPF table editor and contains the line commands that you
wish to have available and associates each line command with an edit
macro that will be run if the line command is entered during the edit
session.
- Confirm Cancel/Move/Replace
- When you select this field with a "/", a confirmation panel displays
when you request one of these actions, and the execution of that action
would result in data changes being lost or existing data being overwritten.
- For MOVE, the confirm panel is displayed if the data to be moved
exists. Otherwise, an error message is displayed.
- For REPLACE, the confirm panel is displayed if the data to be
replaced exists. Otherwise, the REPLACE command functions like the
edit CREATE command, and no confirmation panel is displayed.
- For CANCEL, the confirmation panel is displayed if any data changes
have been made, whether through primary commands, line commands, or
typing.
Note: Any commands or data changes pending at the time the
CANCEL command is issued are ignored. Data changes are "pending" if
changes have been made to the displayed edit data, but no interaction
with the host (ENTER, PF key, or command other than CANCEL) has occurred.
If no other changes have been made during the edit session up to that
point, the confirmation panel is not displayed.
- Mixed Mode
- When
you select this field with a "/", it specifies that the editor look
for shift-out and shift-in delimiters surrounding DBCS data. If you
do not select it, the editor does not look for mixed data.
- Edit on Workstation
- You can select this option to use your workstation as the editing
environment for whichever host data set or workstation file you want
to edit.
- Preserve VB record length
- When you select this field with a "/", it specifies that the editor
store the original length of each record in variable-length data sets
and when a record is saved, the original record length is used as
the minimum length for the record. The minimum length can be changed
using the SAVE_LENGTH edit macro command. The editor always includes
a blank at the end of a line if the length of the record is zero or
eight.
- Data Encoding
- You can use this option to select whether to edit data as ASCII
(CCSID 819) or UTF-8 (CCSID 1208). When you select a value for this
option, the editor uses the selected CCSID in converting the data
to the CCSID for the terminal.
For ASCII or UTF-8 z/OS UNIX files,
the editor breaks up data into records using the ASCII linefeed character
(X'0A') and the ASCII carriage return character (X'0D')
as the record delimiter. The linefeed and carriage return characters
are removed from the data loaded into the editor, but written back
to the file when the data is saved.
It is not necessary to
use the Data Encoding option when the z/OS UNIX file is tagged with a CCSID
of 819 or 1208. If ISPF detects the file is tagged with CCSID 819
or 1208, it converts the data from ASCII or UTF-8 to the CCSID of
the terminal. When the file is saved, ISPF ensures the file is tagged
with a CCSID of 819 or 1208.
