It is done with the TSO ISPCCONF command from within ISPF.
Option 7 will convert the configuration table that is currently loaded to
source that you can edit.
After making your changes, option 4 will build the table load module.
The table load module is placed in a data set in your ISPLLIB
Huh. I remember the default limit of eight, but don't think about it much; I
think my usual max is four or five. At three or four I start using SCRNAME and
closing down unused screens.

I have been unable to convince my site to increase the maximum number of split
screens, so I created my own ISPCFIGU that allows 32 and placed it in ISPLLIB.
I've shown a few other people how to do it. I often use more than 8, and
sometimes more than 16.

I reported this to IBM YEARS ago but they haven't fixed it.

Michael,
If they are pre-allocated, then you would have Individual list/work datasets
for each stacked session. So, it
set in a stacked
session?

Gil,
You can use BLKSIZE=0, but also code DSORG=PS , so that SMS calculates the
Optimum Blksize based on the LRECL
Thanks,

Still recommended for z/OS 2.3.
