Specifying the TSO/E commands users can issue from ISPF/PDF

You can customize the set of TSO/E commands that users can issue from ISPF/PDF panels. Users can issue commands under ISPF/PDF:

On the command line, preceded by "TSO"
From ISPF/PDF option 6
Using the ISPF command SELECT CMD (command-procedure)

You can customize the set of TSO/E commands that all users, or individual users, can issue from ISPF/PDF panels. By default, users can use all TSO/E commands that reside in LPA (link pack area) except the following:

PRINTDS
RACONVRT
SYNC
TEST
LOGON
LOGOFF

To allow users to use those commands, add them to the ISPF module ISPTCM. You can also restrict users from using commands from ISPF/PDF by deleting them from ISPTCM. In addition, you can use RACF® to restrict these commands in all environments, including ISPF/PDF. For more information, see .

You can use the ISPMTCM macro statement to add or delete commands from ISPTCM.

Commands that do not reside in LPA can be used from ISPF/PDF panels, regardless of whether they are in ISPTCM.

If the following commands reside in LPA, you must indicate in ISPTCM that they be checked for authorization so that they receive control in an authorized state:

RACONVRT
SYNC
SEND
LISTBC
SUBMIT

To override the defaults in ISPTCM for individual users, use ISPF/PDF command start and stop exits. Using these exits, you can monitor and restrict the commands individual users issue. For more information about the ISPMTCM macro statement and the ISPF exits, see .
