Update ISPCMDS table entries for Minimum TRUNC values (e.g. UDLIST should be 3)

The default ISPCMDS table has many commands that have a truncation value of 0 when there is no reason to force the user to type in the entire command name. Reasonable truncation values should be considered and implemented.

UDLIST is an example of this where a truncation value of 3 would still provide a meaningful short command name of UDL.

DDLIST could have a truncation value of 3 providing a meaningful short command of DDL.

DSLIST could have a truncation value of 3 providing a meaningful command of DSL.

These are just three examples where more intuitive short names could be achieved by implementing logical truncation values.

    This item is unlikely to be given high enough priority to be placed into product plan. As per a comment in the thread, CUCI addresses this, so this idea will be closed as "targeted for open source".

    i agree each site can customize the ispf command table for this - asking for it to be something each site does not have to do and so they don't have to get it from the cbttape. :)

    This is a valid requirement and is being accepted, but please note Tom Conley's comment about his provision of the capability on the CBT tape as that is available immediately.

    I've already done this, look at www.cbttape.org File #967.
