Hi,
I want to create a shortcut for using an ISPF panel that I have created. The panel currently resides in my personal dataset. I have used the following concatenation cmds in the REXX code for invoking the panel:
"ISPEXEC LIBDEF ISPPLIB DATASET ID('ZY999.PERSONAL.PANEL')"
"ISPEXEC LIBDEF ISPLLIB DATASET ID('ZY999.PERSONAL.PANEL')"
I want a shortcut to my panel, like a letter say A, which a user can type on ISPF Primary Menu. This should take the user directly to my panel.
How can this be done? |

If you are authorized to change ISPF Primary menu, just alter the TRANS statement.

I do not have access to change the ISPF primary menu.
Is there any other way to do it? |

I don't get it: You want users to be able to type something in the ISPF primary menu, but you are not authorized to change it.... simply ask your system guys to alter it.

What should happen when 30 other people develop a panel and want "the users" to easily access it from the ispf primary menu?
I suggest you not modify the standard menu, but rather place your tool (and others like it) on some User Menu.
This is one reason why modification is restricted. . . |

I do not think this will work. And may cause problems.

The ISPLLIB name is for load module datasets. And your panel library is probably not one. |

Your system support should be willing to modify the primary option panel.
*
Our local ISR@PRIM panel has a 'U' option, with an input field so that you can specify the name of your panel.
| Code: |
S Site Local Site Selections
D Dept Department Panel Name ===> _________
U User User Panel Name ===> MYPRIM___ |
The ZSEL statement in the panel definition includes:
which is the field name for the user panel.
* I recall the panel change is a SMP/E local mod. |

The User Point and Shoot list is not as functional as a menu option but can be a handy way to invoke personal commands/panels. You build a list that displays on the right side of the Primary menu replacing the Calendar or Status display. Tab to a list entry and press <enter> to select.
From the Primary menu, open the Menu pulldown and select Status Area to get started. |

My ISR@PRIM does not have any option like 'U'.
If not by a letter then can I access it using my panel name, say PANEL3 directly from the ISPF Primary Menu? |

| I think there is some procedure through which I can add my REXX pgm to invoke the panel in CLIST (under TSO ISRDDN). Any pointer on how to do so? |

Just add your REXX to SYSEXEC concatenation. This topic has been discussed many times in the past.

I was recommending that your system support people add a generic option that anyone could use.
More specifically, I was recommending that you submit a requirement to your system support to provide such an option. |
