ISPF itself does not allocate any data sets at all. It's common practice in most shops to run an 'initialization' script during logon processing to allocate the user's previously created profile data set with the required DDNAME ISPPROF. The profile does not need to have any data contents at all. It just has to be an FB-80 PDS. The first time ISPF uses it, it will 'seed' an empty profile with the minimum necessary members.
There is no required DSN naming convention for the profile, hence no native facility to find an existing one. . .

It does here. So rename your ISPF profile at the READY prompt, then start ISPF and copy+replace back from the original (if needs be)? ________________________________ From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU> on behalf of Lizette Koehler <stars...@mindspring.com> Sent: 05 October 2018 19:08 To: IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU Subject: Re: ISPF issue - new system How do you create your ISPF Profile Dataset? Do you have a REXX/CLIST for your TSO Logon proc that allocates the files needed for TSO/ISPF? You might be able to tailor that to not use SMS.
