Thank all for the information. Basically, I need to write each "embedded" ISPF panel definition out to a PDS member, in a temporary DSN. Then do a LIBDEF as appropriate. I know that ISPF caches definitions in memory. I was hoping to have some way to put my in-stream ISPF stuff directly into the ISPF cache, rather than writing it out to disk.
