I have my PF2 key set to SPLIT NEW (and PF14 regular SPLIT).
And even though there _may_ be a way to automate this, when I
logon I immediately start up 8 screens.
I have a rexx exec that sets up five screens, including the
initial screen, each with an initial application, and naming
the screens ("CODE", "JCL", "SDSF", and so on). I use "start"
in this process instead of "split new".
In fact, I may have gotten the initial version from this
list back year ago.
Here's my current version:
/* rexx Ver4 */
address ispexec
'vget zdel'
'select pgm(ispstrt) ' ,
'parm(scrname on'zdel'scrname code perm'zdel' ' ,
' =3.4'zdel'swap last) suspend'
'select pgm(ispstrt) parm(scrname jcl perm'zdel' ' ,
' =3.4'zdel'swap last) suspend'
'select pgm(ispstrt) parm(scrname sdsf perm'zdel' ',
' =m.5'zdel'st'zdel'swap last) suspend'
'select pgm(ispstrt) parm(scrname cmd perm'zdel' ' ,
' =6'zdel'swap last) suspend '
cmd = "scrname one perm"
'display command(cmd) panel(ispblank)'
I have memorized the use for each. For example 1 is normal edit,
2 is SDSF, 3 is a USS session, 4 is 3.4, 5 is edit/view on system
libraries (like sys1.**) and 6 - 8 as needed.
Then when I need to go to one I type the number at the command line
and hit PF9. So 2 and PF9 and I'm in SDSF, etc.
What I haven't figured out yet is how to make just the PF9 swap
between the two screens I want it to.
SWAP by itself only swaps between the two most recently visited
screens. You can add a screen number, as you do, or you can swap
to a screen name. I often end up with something like this:
==> swap code;c master-foil master-file all;save;swap jcl;sub;swap sdsf
I tend to prefer screen names as opposed to screen numbers.
