Question
I need to ALLOCATE from an ISPF command line. How can I do that without having to type TSO before the ALLOCATE command?
Answer
You can assign common commands to aliases in the command table., which avoids the need to prefix the command with TSO. For example, the TSO ALLOCATE, RECEIVE, and FREE commands might have entries like these:
Verb T Action
ALLOCAT 5 SELECT CMD(ALLOCATE &ZPARM)
FREE 0 SELECT CMD(FREE &ZPARM)
RECEIVE 0 SELECT CMD(RECEIVE)
Another option would be to define one of your PF keys as TSO. Then, you can enter any arbitrary TSO command on the command line and press that PF key (PF4 in the following example), which adds the TSO prefix to it.
