And it appears that ISPF 3.5 primary functionality (in panel ISRURSP) is
provided in an OCO panel exit named ISRAUTOT
("PANEXIT((ZNAMES),LOAD,ISRAUTOT)").
Oh well, it was worth a shot. I'm going to collect my Rexx logic and do it
that way, one more tool in the kit.

Subject: Re: Any standard IBM tool to set ISPF statistics in a batch step?
I did see the TOUCH program in # 357 but I missed COPYISPF in # 720.
Unfortunately I don't have access to a PL/I compiler for TOUCH.
By its description, COPYISPF is actually a Rexx program with assembler
subroutines. As I said originally, I know I can do this myself in Rexx using
the ISPF LMxxx functions, and I probably have enough code and JCL lying around
that uses ISPF and LMxxx functions to code up an ADDSTAT routine. I was just
hoping there was an existing alternative to writing it (besides PDS86).
However, I was intrigued by the ISPF 3.5 function you mentioned. I never even
noticed that function existed (3.4, 3.12 to 3.15 and 3.17 are about all I ever
use). Good question, why can't it be done in batch? This is an interesting
line of research. Thank you for pointing it out. If I do figure out the
secrets I'll post them.
Thanks for chiming in, you were very helpful.

To further my contribution to this discussion, I was looking for a way to run
the ISPF opt 3.5 in batch last year, when I was working as a contractor to IBM,
but never did figure out the way to do so. Gee, they give us a way to SuperC
Compare (3.12) in batch, why can't IBM give us 3.5! :)
Now I know you asked for "Any standard IBM tool....", but if you don't mind,
there are a couple of tools on the CBTTAPE (www.cbttape.org) that you might
want to take a look into;
File 357 has "TOUCH" a PL/I based program to modify ISPF Statistics.
File 720 has "COPYISPF" which copies from one PDS to another while updating the
ISPF Stats in the process. This is not exactly what you want, the author
writes out some fixed information, but you might be able to modify to use
current date/time information during the copy process.
Just trying to be helpful.
