Hello,

My specific case. I need some help with the ISPF line commands while browsing a PDS. For example in the installations that we have if I want to submit a job from a PDS member I just need to type SUB or J like a line command in front of the member while browsing the dataset.
Can anyone please tell me where is this coded and how can I change it?
For example can I somehow prohibit the usage of the J command or modify it's functionality?

Thank you all in advance!

This isn't really my field of expertise, but I imagine that you'd have to start by examining the source code for that panel. Find where the line commands are defined, and then what command or program is associated with them. Then, find the source of that code and see if it can be modified.

My gut feeling is that, since these are built-in ISPF commands, you probably won't have source code available for you to modify. You'll probably have to replace the IBM code with a version of your own.

I went through the panel. There are no line commands defined inside. I guess they are loaded from somewhere else but no idea from where. Can anyone help?

[Nic Clouston]

No idea where they reside but SUBmit is an ISPF command and probably cannot be altered - and should not be. You can create your own SUBmit command and store it in your own PDS concatenated to SYSEXEC. This will override the ISPF command which can still be access by using, I think, the BUILTIN command modifier. J I know nothing about - as far as I am aware it is not an ISPF command so is one of your own establishments additions or belongs to another application. Your support people should know.

By the way I know that SUBMIT is a load module in SYS1.CMDLIB. Howerer I still have not found where and how is "J" defined.

Kolusu thank you very much for your explanation.

Using the 3.16 I browsed every member in my ISPTLIB DD and I found out some very useful commands but I am still out of luck with the J line command.

Is there another place that I can search for that command?
Thank you in advance.

Are you simply trying to disallow someone from submitting a member from browse or view? If so then the TSO ISPCCONF ISPF configurator can be used to change those settings. You must be aware of the implications first. Here is a cut paste.

Thank you very much taltyman.

Very nice utility. Indeed I managed to suppress the submit command in view or browse mode when I am in the member containing the JCL.
Unfortunately when i use it outside of the member the SUBMIT and J line commands still work .
Maybe I can still use this utility but another option?
Do you know of any other ways I could do that?

Thank you in advance

Why does someone believe this is wanted/needed?

It sounds like a "people" problem is being mis-managed.

If your management wants this, suggest you ask them to instruct people they are not to do this. And if they continue, they might suffer loss of income or be terminated. Just depends on the management.

You can't turn it off... It is an integral part of ISPF...

I am sure there is nothing impossible. I just haven't found the right answer yet....
