File-tailoring dialog options
Use the action commands and modes available for the file-tailoring phase.
File-tailoring action commands
Action commands are provided to support the IVP dialog during the file-tailoring phase. The following table contains the action commands, accepted modes, and command descriptions.
- LST
- LST mode
- ENT
- ENT mode
- Both
- LST mode and ENT mode
Action | Mode | Description |
---|---|---|
All | Both | Perform the file-tailoring phase for INSTALIB members, starting with the item for which the request is made. |
brM | Both | Browse an INSTALIB member. |
brS | Both | Browse an SDFSSLIB or SDFSISRC member. |
Doc | Both | Print JOB/TASK/INDEX documentation to the ISPF LIST data set. The DOC action prints all items, not just the item where the DOC action is requested. |
Edm | Both | Edit an INSTALIB member. |
eNt | LST | Switch to ENT mode. Provides a detailed description of the item, action to be taken, expected results, and error recovery. |
Ftl | Both | Perform the file-tailoring phase for a single INSTALIB member. |
Lst | ENT | Switch to LST mode. LST mode presents a scrollable list of items. Within ENT Mode, the ISPF END command is also interpreted as the LST action. |
Nxt | ENT | Move forward to the next item. |
Prv | ENT | Move backward to the previous item. |
File-tailoring—LST mode
The following figure shows the LST mode panel of the file-tailoring phase. When you enter the file-tailoring phase, you are placed in LST Mode. This mode provides the greatest visibility of the jobs and tasks available for the selected option. Except when you are browsing index items, this mode is the only mode that you need for the file-tailoring phase, because the item descriptions that are displayed in ENT mode are intended for use during the execution phase.

If you scroll towards the bottom of the list, you can see
file-tailoring items that belong to the Z series
of steps. These are INDEX entries. The Z1
items are members
of SDFSSLIB (file-tailoring skeletons), which are embedded by the
earlier items. The Z2
items are members of SDFSISRC (DBDs,
PSBs, MFSs, PGMs, for example). Use the BRS action to browse these
members.
-
!
- Indicates that an item was added to the table (due to service). You can remove the indicator by running the table-merge process again.
*
- Indicates that the item was processed by either the ALL action or the FTL action.
Try the ENT action for the first item. You must type ENT (or N) into the action field next to the item you want to select. The command line cannot be used for action commands on LST mode panels.
Press Enter to switch modes.
File-tailoring—ENT mode
The follow table shows the ENT mode panel that corresponds to the item you selected on the LST mode panel.

o Item Type:
NOTE - Information only
o Action Required:
Read the description below.
Use the "NXT" action to proceed to the next item.
o Description:
The items within the "Ax" series of steps are used to perform
initialization for the IVP Dialog. There are no user
executable JOBs within these steps. Please skip to the first
item for Step C0 (This is the default starting position for
the Execution Phase of the IVP Dialog).
The only additional information provided by ENT Mode is the scrollable item description. Except for the INDEX items, these descriptions are intended for the execution phase and have no meaning for the file-tailoring phase.
The NXT and PRV actions can be used to view all the items in the file-tailoring table.
Use the DOC action to print a copy of the online help. Type DOC into the action field and press Enter.
File-tailoring—DOC action

IVP JOB/TASK/INDEX Documentation - XRF IMS 15.2.1
COMMAND ===>
Select (1 or 2) the type of output and press Enter.
1 - LST Mode equivalent containing names and titles
2 - ENT Mode equivalent containing full descriptions
Select (/) the types of JOBs/TASKs to be documented:
SETUP - IVP Preparation (CLISTs, Control statements)
IVP - IMS System Definition
IVP - /VTAM Interface
IVP - IVP System and Application Build
IVP - IVP Execution
INDEX - DFSSLIB (IMBEDs) and DFSISRC members
NOTE: Output will be printed to the ISPF List data set.
Maximum output (for XRF/ISD) is about 3K lines for Type 1
and 22K lines for Type 2.
- LST mode equivalent
- ENT mode equivalent
Even though the DOC action is entered against a single item, the resulting documentation is for all the selected types of items.
You can print the documentation for jobs and tasks during either the file-tailoring phase or the execution phase. The documentation for index items prints only from the file-tailoring phase.
For the example in the file-tailoring (DOC action) panel, no documentation is printed. Press End twice to return to LST mode and then press END again to exit from the file-tailoring phase.
