I want to change the value of the screen variable that gets displayed in the panel from ISPF PANEL PROC section. Is there a way to do it?
E.g) Instead of using ISPF Message if i try to display my message in the screen area though a screen variable by changing its value in my ISPF PROC section, it is not getting displayed. The value that is passed from INIT section is retained. How can i change the screen text from Panel PROC section? |

The PROC section is invoked when the user hits the ENTER key. This means that if you want to see your changes, you have to put your DISPLAY PANEL statement within a loop.

I have to loop the display statement with in my REXX code where i call my panel if i want to get my variable values updated. I cannot do this inside the ISPF panels. Correct my understanding if it is wrong.
PS: I tried displaying the panel at the end of PROC section. I am getting error. |

The only method to "display" a panel from within another panel is through selection panel (aka "menu").
If you want to see updated values (after PROC processing), you will have to invoke the DISPLAY service again.

In my case I am displaying the panel from REXX. So i will loop the display panel in REXX to meet my requirement.
Many thanks for clarifying by doubts. |

By the way, you can use CONTROL DISPLAY LOCK to display the panel twice and process the PROC section, without the user noticing it.

| I tried using this option. The PROC section gets called before user entering the values for the input fields. Can i say when we use "CONTROL DISPLAY LOCK" the proc section gets called before getting the input from the user? |

Yes. CONTROL DISPLAY LOCK simply locks the user's keyboard, but ISPF panel processing performs as usual.
