Customising ISPF appearance

Use x3270 -model 3279-5-E to get 132*27 screen size. It works for the console and ISPF terminal.
I could not get the -oversize 160*45 working. When I edited the .3270.pro file and added x3270.oversize: 160×45 it worked.
Logon and use ISPF =0 to set defaults. Scroll down
- To have command line at the top / Command line at bottom remove the /
- Scroll down. Screen format 3 1. Data 2. Std 3. Max 4. Part
- Terminal Type 4 1. 3277 2. 3277A 3. 3278 4. 3278A though I think this field is ignored.

Options
_ Command line at bottom remove the / to have the command line at the top
/ Tab to point-and-shoot fields so you can tap to column headers, press enter and sort by the column
Member list options
/ Scroll member list
/ Allow empty member list
/ Allow empty member list (nomatch)
/ Empty member list for edit only
pfshow off remove the PFKEYS at the bottom
ISPF keys set PF12 to retrieve not cancel
ISPF set scroll to CSR not PAGE. You will need to do this in all applications
ISPF 3.4 use reflists list of the last 30 data sets used, or your own list
Setting the ISPF main panel.
- Copy ADCD.Z24A.ISPPLIB(ISR@PRIM) to USER.Z24A.ISPPLIB(MYMAIN).
- Add extra content and comparisons at the bottom for example ISMF,’PGM(DGTFMD01) NEWAPPL(DGT)’ .
- The following are already defined
  - RACF,’PANEL(ICHP00)’
  - ISMF,’PGM(DGTFMD01) NEWAPPL(DGT)’
  - SMPE,’PGM(GIMSTART) PARM(&ZCMD) NOCHECK’
  - WLM,’CMD(%IWMARIN0)’
- When you use the TSO Logon panel specify Command ===> ispf panel(MYMAIN)
