Can I strongly advise that you do not modify the ISFPCU41 panel.

If there is functionality that you require in SDSF, please consider raising
an RFE.

And how long would I have to hold my breath?

Anyway, it's not very different from using the modified ISREDDE2 panel and accompanying USRHILIT REXX exec from CBT967 to add highlighting for a heap of other languages to the ISPF editor. For what it's worth, that modified ISREDDE2 could be changed to use panel REXX making it completely self-contained!

Robert,

Unlike ISPF, SDSF is considered strategic and has gobs of development resources. You should submit the RFE for SDSF, you'll find Rob Scott to be very responsive. The only reason I'm modifying ISREDDE2 is that we have clear direction from ISPF that HILITE will not be further enhanced for new languages.

On USRHILIT, I made a deliberate decision to remove that logic from ISREDDE2 to limit the changes to ISREDDE2. I started out with it in Panel Rexx, but as we added languages, I didn't want an ISREDDE2 with thousands of lines. If I ever get around to Perl, it has over 1000 keywords lone, so that would have added at least 3000 lines to ISREDDE2. Modularity.

Tom Conley
