Defining the status area

When you select Status Area from the Menu pull-down, ISPF displays the ISPF Status pop-up window (shown in Figure 1), with an independent view of the status area. This panel is used to define the contents of the status area choices. You can change the choice displayed in this window by using the Status pull-down on the action bar.

Note: Changing the status area viewed in this panel will not affect the choice selected on the ISPF Primary Option Menu panel.
