Re: 2.5 Heads Up

Yep.  We ran into a 14-year old bug when trying to run one of our products on a system it normally isn't run on.  Eventually tracked it down to an incorrect (CLC which should have been CLI) reference to a PSA field which had always been zero.    But on that one system, someone had fired up

Huh? Where does "the image won't fit on a 24x80 screen" come from? Supporting new device capabilities does not mean that old devices are unsupported. ISPF supports, e.g., colors, but it works on a 3277 as well as it ever did. Had IBM done as I suggest, there would not have been a requirement

Look up the ZSTART ISPF variable. You can set it up with a list of commands to perform each time ISPF starts. You can also find an ISPF dialog that I wrote called ZSTART that makes setting up and managing the ZSTART variable easy. It can be found on my website and on my github site (see
