There are 3 methods I use to make a panel scrollable: 1) Use an )AREA section 2) Use a )MODEL section 3) Use a dynamic area As you asked for the 'simplest' method, I've listed the above in roughly what I consider to be the easiest way to do what you want if you've never done it before. Of course, each method has advantages and disadvantages. If you decide to go with option 1, take a look at the [EMAIL PROTECTED] menu. You should see a variable called SAREA39 in the )BODY section of the panel, and what appears to be mostly blank lines below it. Then, just below the )BODY section you should see )AREA SAREA39 with the lines that ISPF will try to 'stuff' into the available area that's defined in the )BODY section. If there are too many lines to stuff into the available area, the panel automagically becomes scrollable.
