* SDSF now provides job and output management for JES3,
Wow! (Should I have known this earlier?)
* IBM provides a new JES3 Spool Data Set Browse (SDSB) application
programming
interface ...
Another one?
* These ease-of-use functions are available for ISPF:
+ The ability to specify multiple targets for the ISPF EDIT move and
copy line
commands. This can help you eliminate repetitious use of these
commands when
copying or moving lines that will have multiple destinations.
I've wished for this since my first exposure to ISPF.
+ A new z/OS UNIX interface to ISPF and TSO/E commands to allow them
to be
issued from the z/OS UNIX shell.
So can I do a bunch of ALLOCATEs, then a CALL? Would be great. Might
this be built on the Rexx ADDRESS TSO facility?
+ A new ISPF service, DIRLIST, to display z/OS UNIX directory. Also,
a new ISPF
command, UDLIST, allows a directory to be listed.
Will DDLIST ever become savvy to mixed concatenations of PDS and UNIX
directories?
+ Enhanced Screen Swapping. When using more than two logical screens,
navigation
among the screens can be supplemented by Point and Shoot fields at
bottom of
the screen. This new support is intended to make it easier to
navigate within
an ISPF session and to supplement the existing SWAP LIST and SWAP
NEXT
support.
+ The ISPF Data Set List panel (Option 3.4) is enhanced to support
block
commands. This is intended to allow you to act on multiple data
sets using
fewer line commands; for example, using paired "DD" commands will
specify that
a block of data sets is to be deleted.
Often wished for on this list.
