Hi,

I have coded a REXX program which reads a file and adds records to ISPF Table. At the end of processing, i'm displaying the values using TBDISPL. I have more than 20 rows in the table and would like to add page up/page down logic. Could please help me how to code this logic in REXX?

1. If you have manuals on ISPF Panels and REXX, please update/provide the link
2. How can we find which key is pressed after the panel is displayed?

Thank you so much!

Regards,
Manoj.

ISPF handles scrolling logic internally. There's nothing you need to write code for.

Hi Superk,

Thank you so much for your time.
I'm getting message 'Command is not active' when PF8/PF7 is pressed. Please advice

Regards,
Manoj

Are you saying that the UP and DOWN commands are not working (I don't care about PF keys since no one here knows how you have them mapped).

Hi,

I'm following the steps below in the same REXX program:

#1. Create a ispf table using tbcreate
#2. REXX program reads a file and adds records to ISPF Table.
#3. At the end of file, i'm displaying the values using TBDISPL.
#4. No TBCLOSE is used. No function keys mapping is done here.

Problem i'm facing here is page up/page down isn't working. Could you please guide me?

a. Could please help me how to correct this? (page up/page down)
b. If you have manuals on ISPF Panels and REXX, please update/provide the link
c. How can we find which key is pressed after the panel is displayed?

Thank you so much!

How about posting your panel definition? Did you use the ISPF Edit Model for the table display as your template?

If the manuals are not accessible via the links above then either google or visit IBM's site - you could use a manual link above as the base point. I believe DBZ posted a couple of links a few months back showing how to find manuals.

In some ISPF-applications the PF key setting is incomplete. To fix that (i.e. directly after receiving the message "Command is not active") type in the command "keys". In the panel displayed after that, go to the lines for F7 and F8 and type in the "Definition" column "up" and "down".

That should help.

Christian

It's working fine after this setup.
Thanks very much!

I give up. Confused

Why did you omit a command line with the ZCMD field as a typical panel should contain?

I would start with the ISPF MODEL command. The model is designed to give complete examples of many ISPF related items. For example if you open a new member in a panel library and enter MODEL on the command line you will be presented with a selection of multiple panel types. Selecting the type of panel you would like to work with gives you a great starting point.

if you are in a member of an ISPSLIB (File Tailoring Skeletons) and enter the MODEL command you will have an opportunity to select a model from all the available skeleton parts.

The MODEL is a great place to start. Have a look at it.

This is a very useful option. Thank you so much!
