Enhance TBDISPL to enable Panel REXX Access to the Table

Enhance the TBDISPL service so that the table data on the ISPF Panel is accessible, and modifiable, using Panel REXX. This would eliminate the need for dynamic panels/table in over 50% (perhaps 90%+) of the use cases.

ISPF SELECT PGM should be enhanced to support calling a 64 bit program

ISPF currently has no code to support calling a program in 64 bit mode. When a SELECT PGM is done the program is invoked using the LINK macro and Reg 1 is set to the parm if any is specified. AMODE64 requires using LINKX and setting the AMODE64PK=...

Add invoked omvs command to 3.17 command results display

Under ISPF 3.17 one can, if enabled, issue OMVS commands and have the results appear in ISPF Browse or View. It would be very helpful to add to the display the full command that was issued. This is especially helpful if the results are printed/cop...

ISPF Edit custom hilities

Allow ISPF EDIT users to create a customize scheme for highlighting lines and text within EDIT. This would include: - Comments (entire line or in-line) - Keywords (allow for up to 4 different colors) - Punctuations (comma, semi-colon, etc) - Block...

ISPF 3.4 / DSLIST - change S line command to browse or view the data set

Under ISPF, 3.4 option or DSLIST, if you use the S line command to select a data set it shows a shorter version of the Data Set Information panel. My suggestion is to change the S line command to browse or view the data set. Or at least, give us t...

Improve ISPF 3.17 by allowing CD on the command line

ISPF 3.17 (UDList) is a useful tool but navigating can be improved by allowing the user to enter a change directory command on the command line. This would mean that the command line would need to allow mixed case text to be entered.

Enable VSAM browse/view from ISPF (without additional product such as File Manager)

Browse (and perhaps view) a VSAM dataset directly from ISPF without having to install an additional product such as File Manager

TASID - Make Open Source

Suggest IBM make TASID 'Open Source' code and place it on the CBT tape. As noted in the below IBM website, "This tool is available on an 'AS IS' basis" and "In z/OS 2.2, some functions do NOT operate correctly. Selecting option 4, Initiator Status...

ISPF does not record the alias name in SMF14ALIAS when accessing datasets via their alias

When browsing or editing datasets under ISPF, if the dataset is accessed through an alias, ISPF uses the real name to access it, rather than the alias. Other allocation services, such as JCL, use the alias. In z/OS 2.1, a new field in the SMF type...

Add better support to ISPF for accessing non 0 PDSEv2 members.

We are using PDSEv2 more and more, specifically the feature that supports prior versions of members.However, the mechanisms to reference non-0 members is quite difficult leading us to write our own program to allocate the desired member. Thus, the...
