The addition of the IBM logo on the SDSF main panel goes back many years - sometime in the late 1990s to early 2000s I believe.
It was probably influenced by a lot of Windows software having similar "splash" screens and was trendy for a while. Until recently, the number of SDSF primary commands could fit on a statically defined two column table to present a coherent main menu. With the numerous primary command additions in 2.2, 2.3 and those planned for 2.4+, the ability was lost to contain all primary commands in a static two-column format. Therefore the product introduced a scrollable main panel which acts like all the other SDSF displays. Development realized that there may well be scripts that required the SDSF main panel to look the same, therefore the ISFMIGMN DD method provided relief so that these scripts would work under 2.3 and enable the customer to test and change the logic of the script to handle the new format. The lack of PF7/PF8 on the old-style menu is consistent with the old releases. SDSF Development have an RFE for the removal of the LOGO on entry to the product. In other news, I will be presenting a Share session in PIttsburgh about what is new with SDSF for 2.4 - maybe there will be some interesting items within the presentation.

I took a fast look and would assume that after the "ABC" logic for the action bar stuff might be appropriate. I can't pursue this at the moment. Maybe a SDSF developer will chime in. Then again, they probably want you to see the logo. :-( I have already coded two dozen command table entries for all the options in SDSF that I want direct access to, especially ones like SYS, APF, LINK, SP, etc. :-) Bob -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU] On Behalf Of Carmen Vitullo Sent: Friday, July 19, 2019 9:14 AM To: IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU Subject: SDSF initial display and z/OS 2.3 Is it possible to bypass the logo pop-up in SDSF on z/OS 2.3 ? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 ================================ Rocket Software, Inc. and subsidiaries ■ 77 Fourth Avenue, Waltham MA 02451 ■ Main Office Toll Free Number: +1 855.577.4323 Contact Customer Support: https://my.rocketsoftware.com/RocketCommunity/RCEmailSupport Unsubscribe from Marketing Messages/Manage Your Subscription Preferences - http://www.rocketsoftware.com/manage-your-email-preferences Privacy Policy - http://www.rocketsoftware.com/company/legal/privacy-policy ================================ This communication and any attachments may contain confidential information of Rocket Software, Inc.
