File-tailoring phase

The file-tailoring phase uses the ISPF file-tailoring services to combine the variables from the variable-gathering phase with skeletons from SDFSSLIB to create members (JCL and other materials) in INSTALIB.

The jobs, tasks, and INDEX items that are presented during the file-tailoring phase are specific to the selections that you made during initialization. The jobs and tasks are presented in the order in which they are to be performed. In addition to creating INSTALIB members, this phase serves as a directory for the various members of INSTALIB, SDFSSLIB, and SDFSISRC.

During the file-tailoring phase, you can perform the following functions:
  • File tailor all or selected items.
  • Browse INSTALIB, SDFSSLIB, or SDFSISRC members.
  • Edit INSTALIB members.
  • View the online help of the members.
  • Print the online help for jobs, tasks, and INDEX items to the ISPF list data set.
