| What do you mean by "dynamically"? Can you give an example? |

Since ISPF panels are basically members of PDS, and since you can create PDS members dynamically - the answer is yes.

If you mean "create a panel on-the-fly before displaying it in my program",
Then, as Ofer says, the answer is yes.
However, panel contents is dynamic, that's why you have variables inside.
So you can have a single panel which contents will be completely different each time you display it.
If you mean "create a panel just by drawing it, the panel code will be dynamically generated",
Then, well, panels are pretty much like screen drawings, so there is not much use for such a tool.
Please rephrase your question, so we can answer to the point. |

In the panel, use the )MODEL to define a scrollable area.
Use an ISPF table to save the data (one row in the table = one row on the screen).
Use TBDISPL instead of DISPLAY.
For more information, search the forum (and/or the internet) for TBDISPL or )MODEL. |

As Marso said, use TBDISPL service instead of DISPLAY. It will provide a scrollable panel. And the panel should have )MODEL section.
Your panel would look something like this:
| Code: |
)BODY EXPAND(//)
// Some Heading //
Command ==>_ZCMD +
Employee Name Employee id
)MODEL
_EMPNAME _EMPID +
|
Where the variables in the model section are the same variables as are used in the ISPF table. |
