Introduction:
TSO/ISPF
provides the facilities to easily add customized
applications, using the functions of the ISPF dialog
manager. The services of the dialog manager include a
language for menu panel definition, extensions to the CLIST
and REXX languages, parameter passing to user programs, a
message and help screen interface, support for data tables,
and file generation from file "skeletons". These facilities
support programs written in Assembler, APL2, COBOL, C/370,
FORTRAN, Pascal and PL/I.
This course provides the programmer with the skills
necessary to create, modify or install program applications
that use the TSO/ISPF dialog environment. All aspects of the
dialog manager interface are studied. Using sample dialogs,
the student is directed to design and construct a working
dialog, with panels, messages and file skeletons. This
course is intended to be interactive, and terminals should
be available in the classroom for maximum effect.
Audience: This course is intended for systems or
applications programmers responsible for installing or
maintaining TSO products which run as ISPF dialogs. This
course is also intended for programmers who want to develop
their own ISPF dialog product applications.
Objectives: On completion of this course, the student
should
be able to:
- design and implement
interactive panels for the ISPF
dialog manager
- use the file skeleton
and file tailoring facilities of ISPF
dialog manager to create tailored JCL and data
streams
- design and implement
data tables and use the ISPF dialog manager functions to
manipulate these tables
- design and structure a
system of messages and help panels
for an ISPF dialog
Prerequisites: A working knowledge of TSO/ISPF, plus coding
experience with either the TSO CLIST language or TSO
REXX.
Duration:
This course is
3 days long.
