If you are attending SHARE conference in Orlando, please attend my session:
Session 17578: ISPF Power Tools: Using Panel Exits to Dynamically Display/Hide Panel Lines
Friday, August 14, 2015: 10:00 AM-11:00 AM
Europe 2 (Walt Disney World Dolphin )
Many ISPF panels are static in nature. This session will describe how you can easily modify an existing static panel to show or hide lines dynamically. Included is a short demo and a technical discussion of how to implement this feature in your ISPF panels.
I will post a link to my slides at a later date.
("reducing the ISPF panel footprint." was my original title, but the SHARE guys renamed it) |

I received good feedback:
* The room moderator is on the ISPF requirements board for SHARE... half way through the presentation he said, 'you blew my mind - I did not know ISPF could do that', and later on saying 'the top of my head is literally missing'. I checked, his head was still intact.
* Two other people said this was the best presentation they had attended all week.
* I received enthusiastic applause at multiples times during the presentation.
The session started quietly. As I proceeded through the presentation, explaining the power and how they can implement, the temperament began to change. I could see their wide-eyes and gleeful expressions: strangers were smiling and looking at each other in amazement. The vibe was like watching your favorite sports team beat a rival. While looking at the audience, I could see how much impact this technology will have. Yes, I realize this sounds like an exaggeration - it is not. |

The presentation has a short example that does an expand and collapse of groups of panel fields. You should be able to copy and paste the rexx and panel easily.
The only prereq is that you have to assemble and link ISPF sample program ISPPXMNX. If you think that is too hard, please vote for this RFE to provide an ISPPXMNX load module:

Peter,
Link doesn't work for me either. So I wrapped it in the URL tags. Now works for me. I've updated Pedro's post. |

Obviously it wasn't the answer, because Prino's link here is also nak***, and works.
I located Pedro's particular RFE with a search at the site (for the member-name in the RFE), clicked and copy/pasted the link. I eyeballed it against Pedro's and they sure looked the same. Then pasted "my" link as the actual link the in the URL tag. |

I've double-checked. Pedro's link is identical to the one I pasted in.
Clicking on Pedro's link failed for me. Then worked after I URL'd it.
I've had problems on two occasions over the last two months with different "500 Server Error" messages from the RFE site.
First one "went away" after several days. During this time I did manage to get the pages up under Windows 7 on another machine, but that machine didn't know my password.
Second one "went away" after a few hours.
I've seen reference to another problem as well, sorted out by "clearing the cache for that site" (presumably browser cache) but I don't know if that is your's and Garry's problem. |

Yes, if you're not already signed-in, I think that's possibly what would happen. When I clicked on the item I found in the Search on the RFE site I was presented with the sign-in screen (pre-filled for me on this machine).
Registering is free. |

That's what happened to me, too. Once I signed-in I was OK.

Brilliant work, Pedro!
I have seen collapsible areas on panels before, but they were always in Dynamic panels. )INEXIT looks to be much easier.
I have had little success in convincing my colleagues to stop using 24x80 panels, so The need for this functionality is pretty clear. Scrollable panels help, but some folks have trouble with that too. |

(I am usually fairly modest, but today I feel a certain bravado)
I used to have the ear of ISPF developers... I asked them for dynamic areas, shadow variables, and scrollable areas among many other ideas. You are welcome. :-)
With regard to )INEXIT, I did not think of it, but I have been able visualize how to utilize it with wonderful results. |

Don, thanks for the compliment!
Mark, thanks for your vote. (Vote for Pedro)
I apologize to all for the RFE link not working... I do not see what you see, but think it has to do with registering a userid prior to voting. |
