The = only means that the command should be processed at the first "primary" panel up the chain.
The x is just a common command to exit from a panel menu. It is not hard-coded in ISPF but must appear in the &zsel=trans logic in the panel. The ; simply simulates the ENTER key. If you have nested primary panels (for example, as delivered by ServerPac, the ISMF primary panel is invoked form the PDF primary panel), =x will take you out of the first primary but simulating ENTER will not take you out of the next one (in the cited example, you are still in the PDF primary panel). -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Robbie McCoy Sent: Wednesday, February 02, 2011 7:40 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Ends an ISPF session. Good morning. Once you have set the defaults for log/list (or your user has) key =x;; (2 semi-colons) This will bypass this panel and take them to the TSO ready prompt. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
