ISPF Overview

During the Lab, try PA1. With a TSO session open now, try this:

1. Go to ISPF option 6. The panel accepts TSO commands.

2. Enter LISTC LEVEL(SYS1) ALL on the command line and press Enter. This should produce an output with three asterisks (***) in the last line on the screen. In TSO, *** means there is more output waiting and you must press Enter to see it

3. Press Enter for each successive screen 4. Press the PA1 key, using the key combination for

your TN3270 emulator. This should end the output.
