ISPF is still relevant in todays modern environments and as such this lab will explore some different aspects of ISPF. There will be labs relating to the ISPF Editor. As ISPF users, a large proportion of our work involves using the ISPF editor. While we are probably comfortable using the basic features of the editor, many of us are not taking advantage of other editor features. In this Hands-on Lab, you will learn how you can improve your productivity by customizing your edit environment and taking advantage of some of the advanced features of the editor. You will learn, through hands-on exercises, how to customize edit profiles and edit settings, how to recover edit session data after a system failure, and how to add power to your edit session with advanced edit commands. In addition there will be a lab concentrating on ISPF dialog development looking at how the different pieces of an ISPF application are created and are used together. . You will learn, through hands-on exercises, how to code some REXX that displays an ISPF panel, as well as interacting with ISPF messages and skeletons.-Liam Doherty-IBM Corporation; Sam Reynolds-IBM Corporation
