Acquiring Data for a User-Created CLIST

This topic contains general-use programming interface and associated guidance information.

As part of the support ISMF provides for user-created CLISTs, there is a shared variable pool. You can use the variables in this pool to control processing and supply information to your CLIST. There are five different sets of variables:
  • Variables that control processing
  • Variables that supply information about the list panel
  • Variables that save message text
  • Variables that supply information about the list panel entries
  • Variables that supply information about the selection criteria

For detailed information on how to write CLISTs, see TSO Programming and ISPF/PDF Guide and Reference.
