In my usually weird thought mode, I was wondering about something. We're on z/OS 1.8, and so this thought may not apply to later releases. Anyway, there are three display drivers for SDSF that I can see: ISFBDSP - Batch; ISFS4DSP - ISPF; ISFTDSP - native TSO. What occurred to me was yet another driver: ISFUDSP - that would be a user replaceable driver with an API of some sort (or parm list) so that a user could design their own input/output driver. What really occurred to me was a driver which accepted XML input and produced XML output. This would connect to anything which understood XML. This would be a way for a GUI on a desktop to connect to an "SDSF server" on the mainframe. Or an easier way to run SDSF as a CGI using the HTTP server included with z/OS.
Just a weird thought. -- John ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
