The BROWSE service provides an interface to the Browse function and bypasses the display of the View Entry Panel. For a complete description of the Browse function see the z/OS V2R2 ISPF User's Guide Vol II.
The BROWSE service allows you to use a customized panel for displaying data. Panel ISRBROB should be used as a model for your customized panel. You can also use the BROWSE service recursively, either through nested dialogs or by entering a BROWSE command while browsing.
BROWSE can be used to look at any ISPF library, concatenation of ISPF libraries, or data set that can be allocated by using the LMINIT service. However, it cannot be used by a PL/I main program that also uses subtasking. The BRIF service allows you to browse data types not supported by ISPF.
