Hi Dick/Dave,

Most of the shops i've worked with do not allow "end-users" access to tso/ispf. Actually, i'm not able to recall any that permit this access to non-technical users (several do allow users to look at "things" via ROSCOE. . .).

Quote:
why write a cics application to perform the 3.14 ISPF function?
I suspect there is more to the application than just this text search. Every time i've seem somethng like this, there is a database solution. For example if one is in the business of creating/shipping hazardous materials, something of a biggie is having the proper MSDS (Material Data Safety Sheet) which contains:

. Identity (name of substance)
. Physical Hazards (target organ)
. Health Hazards
. Routes of Body Entry
. Permissible Exposure Limits (PEL)
. Carcinogenic Factors (cancer causing)
. Safe-Handling Procedures
. Date of Sheet Preparation
. Control Measures (personal protective equipment)
. Emergency First Aid Procedures (emergency telephone number)
. Contact Information (for the preparer of the sheet)
. Special Instructions

and often "someone" wants to find certain "things" that are in multiple documents or some particular document.

Of course to help with performance when looking for values in the text, we parsed the documents and built a lexicon of every value and which documents contained that value. Searches were done against the lexicon, not the actual text. . .

hey thanks to all but i managed to complete it ,
i would like to share what i did..

i used a cics program for generating a screen which accepts search keyword, data set in which it has to search , and a dataset which will have a full report of the keyword in dataset..

in my logic i m first deleting and again creating t dataset needed 4 report,
while search is being done by a batch program whose runjcl i m submitting via spool command in cics program,
This cics program write details regarding search record in sequential dataset given for report and also writes in a vsam file already having a fct entry in cics region first i m setting it to (close , disabled) then cics program is submitting runjcl for batch which modifies it then i again (open and enables ) it then it read the loction from that vsam and displays it on cics screen...

i know it looks stupid what i have done but it is working for me...
Thanks for help and support...
if u have any other idea of how to doing it then do tell me...
or if anybody is having any jcl to submit a batch program calling exci using exec cics link command then pls send me that jcl..

thanks,
