Getting in to TEST mode has been discussed. The easiest way is going to Option
7. That turns TEST most on without requiring you exit/re-enter ISPF. In TEST
mode, ISPF elements are reread from DASD on each call. This is not very
efficient for ordinary usage but greatly facilitates dialog development. So how
do you return to 'normal' processing? In Option 0 ISPF Settings, you have these
options:
Enter "/" to select option
Command line at bottom
Panel display CUA mode
Long message in pop-up
Tab to action bar choices
Tab to point-and-shoot fields
Restore TEST/TRACE options
Session Manager mode
Jump from leader dots
Edit PRINTDS Command
Always show split line
Enable EURO sign
The item Restore TEST/TRACE options controls what happens after you're done
(for now) with dialog testing. If this item is selected, exiting Option 7 puts
you back in normal mode, whereby elements are read only once and retained in
memory. If you leave this item blank, TEST mode persists until you exit ISPF.
