1 - save that as a member in your panel library (usually has a 3rd level of ISPPLIB)
2 - make sure this is allocated to your session on ddname ISPPLIB
3 - go to option 7.2 and specify the panel name (i.e. the member name you saved the panel as)

Once debugged, create an exec similar to this:

/* rexx */
Address ISPEXEC 'display panel(mypanel)'
Exit

This rexx exec does nothing but invoke ISPF display service to display your panel.

BTW - your panel is very complex for a first time panel. You should start with the basics and add bits and pieces as you get the problems sorted out.

I am not getting these can you please explain more clearly.
Sorry to bother your precious time

1 - a panel is a member of a PDS (library)
2 - This library must be allocated to DDNAME ISPPLIB if you wish to use it. ISPPLIB is the ddname that all panel libraries that you may use are allocated to in your TSO/ISPF session. If you do not have a library allocate dthat you can use you will have to play with LIBDEF to temporarily allocate it
3 - 7.2 is used to syntax check your panel
4 - just as well that I am waiting for a dataset recall!

I created a dataset where my code is present.Should i compile this code?
Because I checked in 7.2 option it was not present.

The dataset containing your panel must be asign to ISPPLIB, try ISRDDN to check it.

That is what I am asking how should i assign to ISPPLIB and where should i use this ISRDDN

use option 7.6 to temporarily allocate your panel lib as follows:

kingo · Posted: Tue May 15, 2007 3:58 am Post subject:

I did these things
but when i go to option 6 and type ISRDDN and when i try to scroll down I am getting this message

Warning: ISRDDN has detected that one or more concatenations, including DD
name SYSHELP contain mixed record formats, organizations, or fixed record
lengths. Reading from allocations containing different types of data sets
can cause I/O errors, ABENDs, or other unpredictable results. For further
information, see the z/OS documentation on using data sets. Enter CHECK OFF
to disable this check.

Whats that ?
And once I entered ISRDDN is that ready to execute?

ISRDDN only lists the datasets allocated to your TSO session (you can browse and edit them from there and probably much more but I only use it to see what is allocated)

The temporary allocation done by LIBDEF may not last once you come out of option 7 and may not be available to other screens in your session so after your LIBDEF go straignt to option 2 within option 7 and enter your panel name. IE do this:
1-From main ISPF menu select option 7
2-from the opt 7 menu select option 6
3-do your libdef
4-go to option 2 (pf3 back to the option 7 menu and select option 2)
5-enter your panel name
6-if all has gone well your panel should appear

I am afraid you will have to debug it yourself. If you are using the panel code you showed above then I am getting a completely different error.

Is your panel really called ISPPLIB? Not a good choice - you could get confused between the PDS member name ISPPLIB and the DDname ISPPLIB

Can anyone tell me what is this kind of panel creation
Can we create a panel even this way?

Nic Clouston · Posted: Tue May 15, 2007 7:20 am Post subject:

yup - that is the dialog test error panel ok. tells you why it thinks it has an error and even which line is in error. of course, if you have 2 )ATTR lines it doesn't tell you which but as you can only have one and it is usually, but not always, the first line in the panel definition, it should be fairly easy to find.
