    Add ALPHANUM Keyword to ISPF Panel VER Statement

    There are edit checks for ALPHA and NUM, but not ALPHANUM. We have the need to validate fields that should only contain A-Z,0-9. We have to do this programmatically now. A panel edit check is much easier and much less coding to do.

    Support NRETRIEV in the ISPF workplace panel

    ISPF option 11, the ISPF Workplace, should support the use of the NRETRIEV command so that previously used names can be easily retrieved. Why make me type the name again?

    Need ISPF sample exit cleanup

    Hello, In SC19-3619-01 p.234 there is a pointer to a sample panel exit named ISPPXMNX in ISP.SISPSAMP. This sample exit appears to be assembler generated from a PL/X exit and is essentially unreadable. It seems to us that as an example, this is un...

    ISPF Copy, Compare, Search do not support Unix files

    ISPF was made Unix aware a few releases back, but functions like ISPF 3.3 copy, ISPF 3.12 and 3.13 SuperC, and 3.14 and 3.15 search were not made Unix aware. These functions should be modified to support Unix filenames.

    ISPF MEMLIST - Support DATASET option

    The ISPF MEMLIST service is a easy way to invoke the enhanced member list. However it requires a LMMINIT before using. It would be easier to use if it also supported the DATASET parameter
