When no parameters are given (in 3270 mode), moves the cursor to where it was previously positioned on the other logical screen of a split-screen pair.

When operating in split-screen mode, pressing the SWAP key (F9) causes ISPF to ignore any entry on the command line.

When no parameters are given (in GUI mode) and there are more than two screens present, defaults to SWAP LIST.

Entering SWAP LIST displays the ISPF task list. The task list displays this information about all of the active logical screens:
  • Screen ID (ZSCREEN)
  • Screen name
  • Panel ID
  • Application ID
  • Session type (GUI or 3270)
You can select from this list the screen you want to display or start a new screen or application. The screen you select replaces the screen from which you issued the command.

Using a listed parameter changes the focus (in GUI mode) or display (in 3270 mode) to the PREVious, NEXT, or specified logical screen.

PREV changes the focus or display to the next lower screen number until reaching 1, then wraps back to 32 or the last number used.

NEXT displays the next highest screen number until the last number used is reached (ISPF maximum 32, your installation might vary), then will wrap back to number 1.

SWAP screen name changes the display or focus to the screen called screen name, if it is active. See the SCRNAME command for more information about screen names.

SWAP n, where n is a number, changes the display or focus to the specified screen number, if it is active.
