Make sure your ISPPROF ddname is allocated to a real dataset. And use the same dataset every time.

Hello,

What command did you try? What error(s) were returned?

Posting "it didn't work" will seldom get useful replies. . . We don't know what "it" is and we need something more than "invalid". F1 will usually give some diagnostic info. F1 twice will usually give more detail about the error.

You have various DDnames allocated to your userid. Use this command:
Code:
TSO ISRDDN

from your ISPF command line.

Find your ISPPROF ddname and make sure it is a real dataset.

Hi Govil,

Are you talking about the Project, Group and Type fields shown below? If so, fill them as desired and exit ISPF fully and gracefully, i.e. go through logoff, etc.

Then re-enter ISPF. The Data you entered s/b there.

ISPF saves its fields in your ISPPROF dataset and reuses it the next time you logon.

Make sure the dataset is a permanent dataset and not a temporary dataset. And make sure you use the same one each time you logon.
