The company I worked for had a vendor product (Endevor) that performed various functions using ISPF panels. Management wanted some of the functions to be executed in batch, so I customized the panels to recognize a parameter that would only be passed in batch. When the panel was invoked with the parameter it filled in various fields automatically and simulated ENTER being pressed, which invoked the next panel (and so on). Some of these processes went quite a few panels deep and the whole thing worked flawlessly.
