The member name in the ISPTLIB data set is the name of the table. The first "n" (up to 4) characters of the member name are the ISPF application (FLM is SCLM, ISP is the ISPF display manager, ISR is the PDF editor, BPXW is UNIX, DGT? for ISPF, and so on). The ending characters are descriptive, such as ?PROF for profile variables, ?CMDS for commands, ?EDIT for edit variables, ?EDRT for Edit Recovery Table, ?KEYS for PF keys.
You can read the data in these tables by using ISPF services which start with TB... . Find the member you're interested in. Go into the "Dialog Test" panels. Select the "Tables" category (option 4 - Tables). On that panel, put the member name in the field "Table Name". Use option 5 (Display structure) to show you what the variables exist in the table. Use option 1 to display the contents of the table, one row at a time. Or use the TB... services to read the data in the tables and display it. No, I don't have any code to share with does this. -- He's about as useful as a wax frying pan. 10 to the 12th power microphones = 1 Megaphone Maranatha! <>< John McKown ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
