In order to use the menu interface, the following requirements have to be fulfilled:
The libraries with the openFT panel definitions, CLISTs and messages is installed.
The libraries necessary for using the menu interface is concatenated for the desired instance.
For details, see the manual "openFT (z/OS) - Installation and Operation", ... „Setting the openFT instance“.
Setting an openFT instance
The panels always apply to the currently set openFT instance. If you want to use an instance other than STD you must set the instance:
The CLIST <openft qualifier>.<inst>.CLIST must be concatenated
The file <openft qualifier>.<inst>.CONN must be allocated with the DD name OPENFT.
The FT administrator defines the specifications for the OPENFT QUALIFIER and the name of the instance (<inst>) when setting up the instance.
In a running TSO session, you can perform these allocations manually. This means, for example, that you can also change the openFT instance within the TSO session. You should store the necessary commands in a CLIST and execute these in TSO mode. You can also record the name of this CLIST in a LOGON procedure so that the commands are always executed when you log on.
