Rules for splitting and swapping 3270 and GUI screens

z/OS ISPF User's Guide Vol I
SC19-3627-00

The rules for splitting and swapping screens when you have combinations of both 3270 and GUI screens are as follows:
  • If you have only one 3270 screen and enter split, the new logical screen is displayed in GUI mode.
  • If you have two or more 3270 screens and enter split from one of them, the next 3270 screen is displayed full-screen, but no new screen is started.
  • If you enter split from a GUI screen, a new GUI screen is started (until the maximum number is reached).
  • If you enter split new from either a GUI or 3270 screen, the new logical screen is displayed in GUI mode.
  • If you have one 3270 screen and one GUI screen, then entering swap from either of these screens causes a swap to the other.
  • If you have two GUI screens and one 3270 screen, swap from one of the GUI screens swaps you to the other GUI screen. Swap from the 3270 screen does nothing.
  • If you have one GUI screen and two 3270 screens, swap from one of the 3270 screens swaps to the other 3270 screen. Swap from the GUI screen does nothing.
  • If you have two GUI screens and two 3270 screens, swap from one of the GUI screens swaps you to the other GUI screen. Swap from one of the 3270 screens swaps you to the other 3270 screen.
  • If you have more than two GUI screens and enter swap from one of them, the SWAP LIST panel appears.
  • If you have more than two 3270 screens and swap from one of them, you swap to the next 3270 screen.
  • Entering SWAP PREV|NEXT|screen_name|n commands in either GUI or 3270 mode swaps as described in The SWAP command.
  • After a GUI screen is enabled, you can swap to other GUI screens using your mouse pointer.
