By default SDSF can remember up to 50 commands.
SDSF can support 1000’s of commands in its history list – and can also group them by user specified name. I have a group called zosmf, and it has all the commands for managing z/OSMF. I have another group for zowe, and this has the commands I use for Zowe.
This is documented here.
Customisation
This is documented here.
I allocated the dataset COLIN.SDSF.ISFTABL as a PDS FB LRECL80, 1 Cyl primary, 1 Cyl secondary.
I blogged on how to create a logon script for allocating your definitions.
The important part is you need to allocate the data set as ISFTABL
SET &SDSFTAB= &STR(&SYSUID..SDSF.ISFTABL)
ALLOC DA('&SDSFTAB') SHR FILE(ISFTABL)
Using it
Use the / command to display the pop up the System Command Extension window.
