And also, to *not* becoming an obstacle preventing people from
using new features. I know of a shop that until recently was
using an ISPCMDS table that was 10 years out of date. Many 'new'
commands like DDLIST, DTEST, CMDE, AUTOTYPE and NRETRIEV etc were
simply not available, even though a current version of ISPF was
installed.
Which is why a shop should never customize ISPCMDS. If it isn't
customized, it can't get out of date. These days, there is no
reason to be using a customized version of ISPCMDS. Here's a couple
of tests:
1) Go into ISPF option 3.9 and take a look in the right column. If
all the slots aren't filled with values, someone isn't doing their
job properly.
2) Enter DDLIST (or TSO ISRDDN) on any ISPF command line. Then
enter ONLY ISPTLIB. Finally, enter M ISPCMDS. If more than one
version of ISPCMDS shows up in the left column, someone has created
a customized version of ISPCMDS. In that case, someone needs to
find out why and get rid of the customized versions.
Dave,
I guess we have to agree to disagree. Some shops want vanilla and and
no add ons. SUPPORT Costs $$$$ (and ) Time.
