Subject: Dynamic ISPF panels?
My company is soon to move away from something called Roscoe which has
a programming facility similar to ISPF/CLIST/REXX in TSO.
In Roscoe, 'on the fly'/dynamic panel definitions can be created to
display output and/or accept user input; these are especially useful
when accommodating either a 24x80, 27x132 or 43x80 screen size (or
even some other size if the screen is split). Though I would like to
use dynamic panels for more advanced reasons too - i.e., I realise I
could have 3 different fixed panel definitions, and choose one or
other based on screen size, but I don't want to do that.
I have read ISPF/CLIST/REXX documentation regarding panel definitions
but can't find any mention of dynamically-created ones. My only
remaining supposition is that it would be necessary to write a
definition to a PDS, and tell the rexx to look in that PDS for the
definition.
Does anyone know how best to create dynamic panel definitions?
Two ideas. Scrollable menus, or dynamic areas.

Tom Conley
