I’ve been setting up several z/OS systems, and it is really boring doing the standard reconfiguration of command line at the top, screen size. pfshow etc..
Ive discovered how to set it using ISPCCONF
- Allocate a PDF with format VB and record length of 255.
- TSO ISPCCONF
- Option 7 Convert Configuration Table Loadmod to Keyword File
- Specify the name of the data set
- Specify a member name
- 2. Include defaults as comments
- This shows lots of options for example
- SCREEN_FORMAT = STD
SCROLL_DEFAULT = PAGE
- SCREEN_FORMAT = STD
- The list of what you can specify is here
- Now you’ve seen what is available, go back and select option 1 Create/Modify Settings and Regenerate Keyword File. You can now edit the options by function area, for example 7 Terminal and User Defaults.
- Scroll down set Screen Format 3 Max
- Terminal type 4 3278A
- PF3 and you get a view session showing the values you have changed. It also shows the other values – but you are in view so cannot change. PF3 to return
- Select option 3 Verify Keyword Table Contents gives Keyword file verified
- Select option 4 Build Configuration Table Load Module
- The output file needs to go into a PDS in the ISPLLIB concatenation, you can use the command TSO ISRDDN to display the data set allocation
- ISPF only recognizes the default names of ISPCFIGU – so use this as the default name.
- Logoff, and logon again to pick up the new version
