Be careful what you wish for. That BMC thingie you're referring to (Autocust) does in fact use ordinary ISPF file tailoring, but it is embedded in an almost insane maze of clist, rexx and ispf gooberware. It got that way from years of well intentioned meddling by folks without the knowledge or time to do it right. It has so very many ways to astonish and (ahem) "delight" you. If you like it, you just haven't used it enough :-) My friend Bill Blair has been busting his butt for months to beat it into shape. He is still scratching his head over it and he's one of the smartest guys I have ever met.
