I would recommend deleting (or renaming) and re-creating the ISPPROF dataset of one of the users concerned.

In addition to writing code, I'm also the sysprog/sysadmin for our z9 development system. It's been good to get back into the sysprog game, and (usually) it doesn't take up much of my time. But I've run into a strange inconsistent ISPF initialization problem. Sometime in the past couple of months, I've set up a couple of users who, for some strange reason, cannot get into ISPF. They are using the same TSO logon proc as others, and those others can access ISPF without any problem. I must be missing something, but I don't see it, so I'm looking for some pointers as where else to look. I should first state that this is based on the standard ADCD environment (although technically it's no longer called ADCD in our case. J ) Here's what happens User logs on, gets READY, types in ISPF. Then they get ISPP302 Panel 'ISPTERM' error - Invalid attribute keyword or value is specified for attribute override. *** Then they get the ISPTERM2 panel: Unrecoverable Error * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * An error occurred within the error routine. * * * * No recovery is possible. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Press ENTER key. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Then finally ISPS014 - ** Logical screen request failed - abend 0003E7 ** ISPS015 - ** Contact your system programmer or dialog developer.** *** ISPF Main task abend *** IKJ56641I ISPF ENDED DUE TO ERROR+ READY U0999 is the ISPF "prevent an ABEND loop" abend. This is one of those times that I can say nothing has changed as far as the proc and system data sets go. The user is using the ISPFPROC that comes with the ADCD. I've logged on using the same proc and I'm fine. We have several other users that use ISPFPROC and they don't have any problems at all, either. I've also tried DBSPROC (the DB2ish proc from the ADCD) and ISPFLITE (ADCD bare-bones ISPF proc); no difference. ISPTERM is sitting in ISP.SISPPENU and it looks just fine. The only thing I can point to is that some users that were created sometime after a general date (this summer) have the problem. Yet others who were defined after this time do not have the problem; they can use ISPF just fine. I'm at a bit of a loss as to where to go next. Any/all pointers suggested. Oh, the one catch.this particular environment is 1.7, which, as soon as I can accumulate enough round tuits, will be upgraded. But this is one of those "gotta make it work now because of deadlines" situations. Thanks in advance, Ray -- M.
