Assignments
With PEL, you can set dialog variables to values that are not otherwise accessible. For example, you can set a variable to the program name specified in the PGM= statement on the logon procedure.
Each PEL assignment statement generates a single panel assignment
statement where the assigned value is a character constant created
by DSC at the time the panel is evaluated. For example, the statement:
ASSIGN:DEST=TSODEST DEST='REMOTE12'Like any other assignment statement, PEL assignment statements are only valid in the sections where ISPF assignment statements are valid.
