Thanx John,
This basically worked; I didn't have to add much more than to use a DSN, for
the new ISPF profile dataset.
After working through various ISPF errors, the program works- except that it
does not display the panels! It executes the VDEFINE's properly and after a
CALL ISPLINK (or the ISPEXEC that Steve Comstock suggested) to display the
panel, the return code is zero- but there was never a panel display.
Since the VDEFINE's all worked, I assume that I have the panel variables set up
properly in Working-Storage. Now all I can think of is parms in the compile
proc or special FD's in the program, to communicate with the ISP* ddnames in
the JCL.
Any further ideas on what I might do in the program, to get ISPF panels to
display?
Thanx!
Warren

Warren,
You cannot share a ISPF profile dataset. You likely ran the job while
you were still in ISPF on TSO. This doesn't work. What I do is just have
a temporary ISPF profile dataset in my JCL
//ISPPROF DD SPACE=(CYL,(10,1,100)),
// RECFM=FB,LRECL=80,BLKSIZE=0,DSORG=PO
On the ISPSTART command, use PGM instead of CMD
ISPSTART PGM(MYCOBOL) PARM('PARM, IF ANY')
