I've never seen any SDSF data in ISPF Help.  SDSF does have help panels.
They are not bad as reference but it is difficult to find anything if
you don't already know the exact command.  For example, is FINDLIM a
command or an operand on the SET command?  If SDSF Help had an index and
a tutorial like ISPF, I think it would be more useful.  While I do have
some success with ISPF, Windows and even SDSF Help, I must admit to
being a manual bigot.  It is just much easier for me to find what I want
in a PDF.

Why doesn't the user at the terminal simply use the ISPF help facility?


I'm not sure how many of our products document panel usage in books, vs
making use of the ISPF help functions.
