Defining ZDT/IMS in an ISPF command table
ISPF supports four different command tables where you can define
an ISPF command to invoke ZDT/IMS:
- Application command table
- User command table
- Site command table
- System command table
You can use the ISPF Command Table Utility (option 3.9) to create or change a command table that is not currently in use (the system command table, ISPCMDS, is always in use). When you add a command for ZDT/IMS to one of these command tables, you can invoke ZDT/IMS from any ISPF panel without prefixing the command with TSO.
Add the following entry to a command table to enable ZDT/IMS to be run from any ISPF panel by entering ZI on the command line.
| Verb | ZI |
| Action | SELECT PANEL(HFM1ST00) OPT(&ZPARM) SCRNAME(HFMIMS) SUSPEND NEWAPPL(HFM1) |
| Description | Z Data Tools IMS™ component |
To invoke ZDT/IMS with LIBDEFs, see ispf-libdef-invoke.html#ispf-libdef-invoke__libdef-invoke-ex2.
