Defining ZDT/Db2 in an ISPF command table

ISPF supports four different command tables where you can define an ISPF command to invoke ZDT/Db2:
  • Application command table
  • User command table
  • Site command table
  • System command table

You can use the ISPF Command Table Utility (ISPF 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/Db2 to one of these command tables, you can invoke ZDT/Db2 from any ISPF panel without prefixing the command with TSO.

Add the following entry to a command table to enable ZDT/Db2 to be run from any ISPF panel by entering ZD on the command line.

Verb ZD
Action SELECT PANEL(HFM2ST00) OPT(&ZPARM) SCRNAME(HFMDB2) SUSPEND NEWAPPL(HFM2)
Description Z Data Tools Db2® Component

To invoke ZDT/Db2 with LIBDEFs, see ../../oxy_ex/ispf-libdef-invoke.html#ispf-libdef-invoke__libdef-invoke-ex2.
