Creating ACS routines

Before you begin: You must allocate either a sequential data set, a member of a partitioned data set (PDS), or a member of a partitioned data set extended (PDSE) for each of the ACS routines that you intend to write. As a general guideline, use an LRECL of 80. The maximum LRECL you can use is the maximum that can be specified on JCL.

Perform the following steps to create ACS routines.

1. Select option 7, Automatic Class Selection, from the ISMF Primary Option Menu. This displays the ACS Application Selection panel.

2. Select option 1, Edit, on the ACS Application Selection panel. This displays the Edit Entry panel.

3. Supply the required values on the Edit Entry panel, then press Enter to invoke the ISPF Editor.

4. Supply the source code for the ACS routine.

5. Use the END command to save the ACS routine and return to the ISPF Edit Entry panel.

6. Use the END command again to return to the ACS Application Selection panel.
