Customizing the Primary Command Definitions

There are two sets of primary commands supplied with the IPCS dialog. One set is used solely on the panels of the Browse option; the other set is used on all other panels. You can change these IPCS dialog primary command definitions to your own specifications by following these steps:

Ensure that the IPCS data set ‘SYS1.SBLSTBL0’ is in the data set concatenation with the ISPF ISPTLIB data set.
Ensure that your ISPF profile data set is allocated as ISPF ISPTABL data set.
Select option 3.9 from the ISPF/PDF Primary Option Menu to access the ISPF command table utility.
Determine which set of primary commands you want to change, and use the command table utility screen, as follows:
- To change the primary command definitions for the pointer and storage panels of the Browse option, after APPLICATION ID ===> enter the following:
```
blsl
```
- To change the primary command definitions accepted on all other panels, after APPLICATION ID ===> enter the following:
```
blsg
```
Press Enter.
On the command table utility screen, insert definitions of primary commands. For assistance, use the HELP command.
Save the changes by entering on the command line:
```
end
```

After performing these steps to change the primary command definitions, ISPF updates the command table and stores this profile in your ISPF profile data set to be retained between ISPF sessions. Therefore, if you changed the primary commands for the BROWSE option, data set member BLSLCMDS is added to your ISPF profile data set. If you changed the primary commands for all IPCS options except BROWSE and TUTORIAL, data set member BLSGCMDS is added to your ISPF profile data set. Deletion of either one of these data set members will reestablish the original IPCS primary command definitions.
