Re: ISPF application setup

[Steve Smith]

Thanks Mike.

The apps I'm working with already have their own APPID, for profiles, etc.
As for PASSLIB, my understanding is that's required for the LIBDEFs to be
effective for the app, if they are issued before the SELECT NEWAPPL.

i.e.

a) in some menu: SELECT (%SETUPXXX)

SETUPXXX:
LIBDEF ...
LIBDEF ...
SELECT PANEL/etc. NEWAPPL(XXX) PASSLIB /* Actual app start */
/* LIBDEF cleanup */

b) in some menu: SELECT (%SETUPYYY) NEWAPPL(YYY)

SETUPYYY:
LIBDEF ...
LIBDEF ...
SELECT PANEL/etc. /* Actual app start */
/* LIBDEF cleanup (maybe automatic?) */

Steve,

Forgot to mention that NEWAPPL is *required* when your application has 
its own application commands defined in an application command table in 
the ISPTLIB concatenation. ISPF can't honor the application commands if 
it can't find the application command table.  The first four characters 
of the application command table name must match the value set by NEWAPPL().

don't really expect to see any difference, just looking to see if some
expert knows that there's better performance or recovery or whatever one
way or the other.



Steve,

We favor and use the first method for simplicity's sake, but either one 
works. We have tried them both over the years. You sorta need a good 
specific reason for using PASSLIB.
