Improving Productivity With Ispf Productivity Tool V6.1
Improving Productivity With Ispf Productivity Tool V61 Author:IBM Redbooks This IBM® Redbooks publication introduces the Interactive System Productivity Facility (ISPF) Productivity Tool (IPT) Version 6, Release 1 for z/OS®. IPT operates as a seamlessly integrated front end to ISPF. — IPT functionality is available from any panel without a need to modify any ISPF Primary Options Menu. All IPT functions are totally integ... more »rated. IPT can perform almost any activity within ISPF, or internally invoke the function that can perform the task.
IPT combines separately provided ISPF utility functions and new ISPF Productivity Tool features into the Object List (OLIST) and Member Selection List (MSL). The resulting member, dataset, and object lists become powerful platforms where you can perform many tasks without navigating to other utilities.
IPT relates objects to applications in a similar manner to the way that a PC performs Object Linking and Embedding (OLE). By extending the dataset objects that are used by ISPF to other object classes, IPT lets you specify the object to be processed and the action that is performed (such as EDIT or BROWSE). The facility that is appropriate to the object class for the action that you have requested is invoked automatically.
IPT provides extensive search capabilities that are both rapid and intuitive. You can easily search for volumes, datasets, members, and text within members. ISPF Productivity Tool also furnishes automatic drill-down system navigation to examine volumes, datasets, and members.
IPT provides a menu-driven facility to display and recover all of the deleted members of a partitioned dataset (PDS) library.« less
