SRCHFOR within SDSF

ISPF allows the use of a SRCHFOR primary command from the data set list. The command will search for text within each data set in the list and identify which data sets contain the text. SDSF should support a SRCHFOR command to search the job steps...

Provide ability to browse JES2 control blocks related to a specific job

As part of our product development, today we found a need to browse JES2 control blocks for a specific job. For implementation, it should be able to read blocks from storage or from the spool. It would also be beneficial for customers who write th...

Enhance SDSF Log Read Options

Please provide an option to filter for specific messages when reading the log. ISFLOGSTARTDATE works to set a starting date with ISFLOGSTOPDATE setting the ending date for the search. Having something like ISFLOGMSG option to limit the results to ...

Support additional special variables like ISFTLINE in secondary panels like JDS when using REXX as %-action character

Some special variables like ISFTLINE are not supported on (some?) secondary panels (like JDS) when using REXX as %-action-character. Eg. ISFTLINE could be used to get JOBNAME or JOBID in secondary panel like JDS. Alternatively, having the JOBNAME,...

SDSF XDC Panel Include DD name or DSID

Currently when using XDC to print output from a job in SDSF it only displays the JOBNAME and JOBNUMBER. This is fine if you are only using it once. However, if you have multiple XDC commands going on at one time, then when you hit ENTER, it is not...

Support ALTLIB settings for % REXX execs

The current REXX exec support only supports placement in SYSEXEC or SYSPROC. This makes writing/debugging row processing EXECs difficult, as some shops may not allow write access to libraries in the concatenation. The TSO ALTLIB command is the int...

Provide Limit on SDSF JES2 Commands

Currently a SDSF user can submit any number of commands with SDSF in the BLOCK Command process. JES2 can hang if too many $P or $T commands are entered.
