You would be better off writing in REXX -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU] On Behalf Of Peter Hunkeler Sent: Saturday, August 18, 2018 12:49 PM To: IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU Subject: AW: Question ABout ISPF Panels
>Hi,.I am trying to find examples of invoking a CLIST and a Program from the )PROC Section of a ISPF PANEL That is not the concept of ISPF. You either have a menu, aka selection panel, or a data entry or data display panel. With menus, you set the ZSEL variable to contain operands which are allowed on the ISPF SELECT service. ISPF then runs a SELECT service with those operands. This way you run (compiled) program, a CLIST/REXX script, or you let ISPF display another panel. Non-menu panel do not run programs. They are displayed *from* s running program, and the data entered, is then worked with in the program when ISPF returns from the DISPLAY service. This is a high-level, simplified view. The point is, there is no CALL or EXEC statement in a panel. ISPF Panels only have a very limited set of services you can use to verify the data the user has entered. With some release of ISPF (I don't remember which release), ISPF introduced the possibility to use REXX from within the panel to offer more flexibility to verify data. This was not intended to run "the logic" part of the application. -- ßph ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
