Customizing the ISPF menu (ISR@PRIM) can lead to problems if people forget to update it when IBM makes changes to it. For that reason, I strongly recommend getting rid of the customized ISR@PRIM menu and instead using the vanilla version of that menu, exactly as supplied by IBM.
To do this, all you have to do is create a new menu called ISP@MSTR. ISPF automatically looks for and displays the ISP@MSTR master menu ahead of the ISR@PRIM menu. The master menu could (for example) have option '1' invoke the standard ISR@PRIM menu, option '2' might invoke a menu with all the developers tools, option '3' might invoke a menu with all the SYSPROG tools, and so on. Alternatively, all the vendor products and in-house utilities might be listed directly on the master menu, and just the ISR@PRIM menu is listed separately. There are countless possibilities on how to set it up, but no matter how it's done the big benefit is that all of the ISR@PRIM customization is completely removed and no-one ever has to worry about IBM making changes to it.
