Introduction to the new mainframe Using TSO commands in native mode • Usually, ISPF provides the interface for TSO. • However, TSO includes a limited set of basic commands independent of ISPF and other programs. • Using TSO in this way is called using • TSO in its native mode. When you logon to TSO, the z/OS system responds by displaying the READY prompt, and waits for input (similar to a DOS prompt). “” “” “” *** 3 asterisks means more information… depress Enter ani © Copyright IBM Corp. , 2008.

ISPF overview Introduction to the new mainframe Acronym for Interactive System Productivity Facility ISPF is a menu-driven interface for user interaction with z/OS system. The ISPF environment is executed from native TSO. ISPF provides utilities, an editor and ISPF applications to the user. To the extent permitted by various security controls an ISPF user has full access to most z/OS system functions. © Copyright IBM Corp. , 2008. All rights reserved.

Introduction to the new mainframe Navigating through ISPF menus To access ISPF under TSO, the user enters a command from the READY prompt to display the ISPF Primary Option Menu. You can access online “help” from any of the ISPF panels (press the PF 1 key) ISPF includes a text editor and browser, and functions for locating files and performing other utility functions. © Copyright IBM Corp. , 2008.

Introduction to the new mainframe Chapter Summary TSO allows users to logon to z/OS and use a limited set of basic commands in native mode. ISPF is a menu-driven interface for user interaction with z/OS. ISPF provides utilities, an editor and ISPF applications to the user. To the extent permitted by various security controls an ISPF user has full access to most z/OS system functions. TSO ISPF should be viewed as a system management interface and a development interface for traditional z/OS programming. © Copyright IBM Corp. , 2008. All rights reserved.
