Duane : from almost 2 decades ago, I seem to recall this as being an ISPF problem when attempting to assign PF keys. (formerly =0.2?) For example, my logon is followed by PF14 which has ';split;=l2;pre;da nostc;swap;=g;e;c'. Likewise, I have ';=x;x;;=x;x;;=x;x;;=x;x' assigned to PF16 for logging off. I don't recall if I spoofed ISPF using two passes at the panel where one iteration has the equal sign and the other has the semi-colon or used the leading semi-colon that you see in PF16. You'll have to experiment. The problem was that typing the equal-sign (or semi-colon or both) was interpreted immediately by ISPF causing me to leave =0.2 without my PF-keys updated. I suspect SYSVIEW is having the same 'immediacy' problem since it's seems to be an ISPF application. hmmm.... just thought of something else. SysView might be an 'enclosed application' (I don't remember the right ISPF terminology) such that the equal-sign doesn't translate out to ISPF. ISMF is such an example where =1 ie. ISPF browse from the top panel, doesn't take you to browse but, rather, to option 1 on ISMF'S top panel. You must =x;1 to leave ISMF for ISPF then 1 is the browse option from ISPF's main panel. What happens when you use =x;ze;2 from Sysview? Observed samples only; not an ISPF programmer.
