Special Processing for ISPF Edit or ISPF Browse

If the ISPF application contains an ISPF Edit or ISPF Browse call, this needs special treatment. This is the only situation where the ISPF application itself has to be changed. The application must call the Editor interface TAUZCEIF.

The customization in the REXX dialog application looks like this:

Call ISPF "8 VGET (TAUTODIA) SHARED"                       
If rc = 0 & tautodia = 'Y' Then                            
   Call TAUZCEIF "Browse "dsn 
Else                                                       
   Address ISPEXEC “BROWSE “dsn

The Editor interface has the following parameters:

Parameter Meaning
funccode Function code:
  • EDIT
  • BROWSE
dsn Dataset name; can be in the form dsn(member)
WAIT [O] 'WAIT' means the client process is waiting for the editor part to be closed; this parameter is not interpreted by the client process if the function code is BROWSE.
INIT(macro) [O] The name of an initial ISPF edit macro, that is executed on the data set before it is transferred to the client. An initial ISPF edit macro is honored only with the function code EDIT. ISPF edit macro parameters may be given separated by a space after the name.
