Accessibility

Accessibility features help a user who has a physical disability, such as restricted mobility or limited vision, to use software products successfully. The accessibility features in z/OS® provide accessibility for z/OS Debugger.

The major accessibility features in z/OS enable users to:

Use assistive technology products such as screen readers and screen magnifier software
Operate specific or equivalent features by using only the keyboard
Customize display attributes such as color, contrast, and font size

IBM Documentation, and its related publications, are accessibility-enabled. The accessibility features of the information center are described at https://www.ibm.com/docs.

Using assistive technologies

Assistive technology products work with the user interfaces that are found in z/OS. For specific guidance information, consult the documentation for the assistive technology product that you use to access z/OS interfaces.

Keyboard navigation of the user interface

Users can access z/OS user interfaces by using TSO/E or ISPF. Refer to z/OS TSO/E Primer, z/OS TSO/E User’s Guide, and z/OS ISPF User’s Guide Volume 1 for information about accessing TSO/E and ISPF interfaces. These guides describe how to use TSO/E and ISPF, including the use of keyboard shortcuts or function keys (PF keys). Each guide includes the default settings for the PF keys and explains how to modify their functions.
