Remove scrollable areas from ISPF panels

z/OS ISPF Planning and Customizing
GC19-3623-00

Some of the panels that are provided with the Dialog Tag Language (DTL) source can be recompiled to remove scrollable areas (where the resulting panel fits within a standard 24 line screen). This can result in some performance benefits. To recompile the DTL source:

  1. Invoke ISPDTLC with the MERGESAREA option by specifying:
    ISPDTLC (MERGESAREA
    or by selecting the option "Combine scrollable areas into panel body" on the invocation panel.
  2. Modify the convert EXEC to include the MERGESAREA parameter:
    'ISPDTLC ISPFALL (DISK KEYLAPPL=ISR MSGSUPP CUAATTR CUASUPP PLEB MCOMMENT
        NOSTATS MERGESAREA PROFILE=your.gml.dataset(profile)' ;
  3. If you are recompiling DBCS versions of the panels, you must add the DBCS option to the command syntax. Japanese panels require the KANA option as well.
    'ISPDTLC ISPFALL (DISK KEYLAPPL=ISR MSGSUPP CUAATTR CUASUPP PLEB MCOMMENT
        JAPANESE DBCS KANA NOSTATS MERGESAREA PROFILE=your.gml.dataset(profile)' ;
Note: The NOACTBAR AND MERGESAREA options can be combined to provide both results.

For more information about invoking ISPDTLC, see Invoking the ISPDTLC conversion utility.
