I have an edit macro that opens a dataset in browse mode using ISPEXEC BROWSE. It opens the dataset in the same panel and I have to press PF3 to go back to my edit panel. Because of this I cannot see my original file and the result simultaneously.

I read a similar post about "DISPLAY PANEL" where the solution was to use ISPSTRT to open new panel. Does something similar exist for executing the BROWSE command?

I can manually open another window to browse the result dataset but looking for a way to avoid it.

yes. the ISPSTRT command does the same thing as the START command you would enter from any command line. START takes as a parameter either a panel option number, if you are starting a panel, or a command table entry. Your system will have a command table entry named EPDF. So use ISPSTRT to start EPDF dsname BROWSE
