You can run ISPF in batch. But running ISPF in batch doesn't let you "script" an ISPF application as is. In fact, if an ISPF application running in batch does too many panel displays, ISPF will end it with an error, because there's not going to be any response to the screen display. If you have

I am asking this question here because the ISPF-L list has been pretty dormant for a while now. We have an old ISPF application which does NOT have a callable API of any kind that I need to be able to automate for a targeted list of "screen" actions. Aside from coding a VBS screen "macro" appli

You can do it with an MPF exit. First check the CTXT data passed to the exit to make sure it contains the dataset name or USS info that you are interested in, if it does, then just use this code: If the message is a multi-line WTO (MLWTO) then you need to get all of the lines before you start

OK, I am seeing that as I investigate the NaviQuest setup. Sets ISPF variables needed prior to invoking a panel, then executes a “batch panel” to run the real process with those values. Slightly more complicated than that of course, but that seems to be the general idea. Might work if this ol
