The Settings option allows you to display and change a variety
of ISPF parameters at any time during the ISPF session. Changes remain
in effect until you change the parameter again, and ISPF saves them
from session to session. This topic explains how to use the fields
on the ISPF Settings panel and the action bar choices.
If you select option 0 on the ISPF Primary Option Menu, this panel
is displayed.

This facility can also be started from any command line with the
SETTINGS command, or from the Settings choice on the Menu pull-down
on any action bar where it is available. Typically, the Settings facility
should be included as an option on an application's primary option
menu or as a choice on a pull-down on an application's primary option
menu.
