I have written a routine to view the dataset in JCL by placing cursor over the name and executing the routine. It works when your JCL is open in edit mode.
My requirement is to execute the same routine when JCL is opened in browse mode.

| IPSF EDIT and VIEW allow for automation via ISPF EDIT macros. BROWSE does not. I don't believe you can do what you want. |

| The shop i work for has this utility to open up the DSNs while in browse mode in jcl. I have searched thru all their allocated libraries but I could not trace the code behind this utility. |

You can also select the SDSF job in EDIT mode by using "SE" to select it. If the entire job is too large, use the "?" first to separate the spooled "datasets" and isolate the JCL portion.
Keep in mind that SDSF has unique PFkeys, so if your MACRO is driven by a key you'll need to change the assignment in SDSF. |

| I'm sorry, maybe I misunderstood the topic, since I don't have, and have never been in a shop that has SDSF. Does it have it's own scripting/macro facilities? |

I use "SJ" in front of the JOB name in SDSF, if I need to edit the JCL. I think it's not site-specific; please confirm it. |

| I think i can play with this option of using SE insead of S to open up the spool in edit mode. Thanks Bill |

| SE & SJ are features of SDSF, so not a site specific thing. |

| Thanks, I was little unsure. This command right away 'gives' the JCL 'submitted ' to edit again. |

Kevin,
No, SDSF does not have it's own scripting capability. Selecting the spool file in edit mode allows for ISPF macros to be used. Apparently, the above-mentioned VCURSOR may work while looking at spool files in browse mode but I've never looked at it. |

When browsing a file (from SDSF or any other way), I just need to type "BROWSE' in the command line,
place my cursor under a dataset name and hit ENTER.
I can type 'BROWSE' or 'EDIT' or 'VIEW'. These are not macros, they are commands.
This behavior may come from SPIFFY, a well known enhancement to TSO/ISPF. |
