GUI panel settings

When you select "GUI panel settings" from the Workstation pull-down, the GUI Settings pop-up window is displayed, as shown in Figure 1.

Note: You do not need to have a Workstation connection running, or to be in GUI mode, to change these settings.

The GUI Settings pop-up window allows you to specify these GUI parameters:

Close Window

Allows you to specify that one of these commands be processed when you close a GUI window:

CANCEL
END
EXIT
RETURN.

Display Enter Key

Select this field to display an Enter push button at the bottom of all GUI panels.

Accelerator Support

Select this field to use accelerator keys in this session.

3270 mode after losing workstation connection

Select this field if you want the ISPF session to continue in the 3270 emulator session rather than abend with code 989 when the workstation connection is lost while running in GUI mode.

Download Images

Select this field to download images from the host library defined to ddname ISPILIB, to the workstation image path. If you are not running ISPF in GUI mode, this setting is ignored.

Make Path for Images

Select this field to have ISPF create the image path you specify, when the image path you specify does not already exist on the workstation.

Path for images

In GUI mode, this field enables you to specify a workstation path for images. The image path can be 244 characters long with no embedded blanks. The image path you specify must follow the accepted path notation for whichever operating system you are using. If you do not specify an image path, ISPF puts the image requested into the workstation's working directory.
