Concatenating libraries containing ISPF panels

&pagelevel(5)&pagelevel

The ISPF panel definitions and the associated MSG and CLIST libraries are contained in three PO data sets:

OPENFT.OT121an.F8

contains the panel definitions

OPENFT.OT121an.F9

contains the CLIST procedures required for execution

OPENFT.OT121an.F10

contains the message definitions

These libraries, into which the components were read from the openFT CD (see section“Installing from CD”), must be made accessible to those user IDs who are authorized to administer openFT via the menu interface, using the methods already described above. This description deals only with the modification of the LOGON procedure; the information given above on making the library available during a TSO session also applies here.

Modification of the LOGON procedure

//SYSPROC  DD  DSN=system-procedure-library,DISP=SHR
//         DD  DSN=ft-procedure-library,DISP=SHR
//         DD  DSN=ft-clist-library,DISP=SHR
//OPENFT   DD  DSN=<openft qualifier>.<inst>.CONN,DISP=SHR
//ISPPLIB  DD  DSN=system-panel-library,DISP=SHR
//         DD  DSN=ft-panel-library,DISP=SHR
//ISPMLIB  DD  DSN=system-message-library,DISP=SHR
//         DD  DSN=ft-message-library,DISP=SHR

The "ft-procedure-library" is the library described above for the FT administration
commands. "ft-clist-library" is the above-mentioned library for the CLIST procedures in the openFT menu interface (after installation, OPENFT.PANEL.CLIST), "ft-panel-library" is the library for panel definitions (after installation, OPENFT.PANELS) and "ft-message-library" is the library for messages (after installation, OPENFT.PANEL.MSG). These libraries, too, should be protected against unauthorized access, e.g. using RACF.

CLIST command procedures for the FT administration commands are created when the FJGEN procedure is executed (see Setting openFT installation parameters with FJGEN) and stored in the library
<openft qualifier>.<inst>.CLIST.

Starting the panel interface

Call the following command under TSO:

EXEC '<openft qualifier>.OPENFT.PANEL.CLIST(FJMENU)'

By calling this start CLIST, you can access the initial panel of the openFT menu interface both under TSO and via the general ISPF/PDF interface (enter "TSO EXEC clistname" in the command line). For further information, please refer to the relevant IBM manuals.
