ISPF can be used in these ways:
- Managers can use ISPF Edit, SCRIPT/VS, and the Hardcopy utility
or another print utility provided by their installation to prepare
memos.
- Data processing administrators and system programmers can use
ISPF to:
- Monitor and control program libraries
- Communicate with MVS™ through
TSO commands, CLISTs, or REXX EXECs.
- Programmers can use ISPF to develop a batch, interactive, or any
other type of program and its documentation.
- Terminal users can call dialogs that use Dialog Manager (DM) component
and Program Development Facility (PDF) component dialog services to
do the work of the application.
The View, Browse, and Edit functions, a wide range of utilities,
foreground and batch compilers, program library control, and other
facilities are available to help you develop ISPF dialogs.
