ISPF COMMANDS
Command Function
< Data shift left
shifts a single line of program source code to the left without affecting the program labels or
comment ie. data from column one to the first blank and data following several blanks are not
moved. May be specified with a number identifying the distance to move (default 2).
<< Block data shift left
All of the lines in the block are affected as if you typed individual data shift left commands. May
be specified with a number identifying the distance to move (default 2).
> Data shift right
As for data shift left but the opposite direction. May be specified with a number identifying the
distance to move (default 2).
>> Block data shift right
( Column shift left
Works similarly to data shift left but moves everything within the bounds, nothing stays fixed in
place. May be specified with a number identifying the distance to move (default 2).
(( Block column shift left
) Column shift right
)) Block column shift right
a After
used with copy, move, or paste to specify the line after which the copied/moved lines are to be
inserted.
b Before
used with copy, move, or paste to specify the line before which the copied/moved lines are to be
inserted.
bnds Display bounds above this line
Displays the current boundary positions which can be changed by tying < and > in the new
boundary positions that you require.
c Copy
Copies this line either to another place within the current file (using a, b, or o to identify
destination) or to another file (using the create, replace, or cut commands). Can be specified
with a number to indicate that multiple lines are to be copied.
cc Block copy
cols Display the column ruler above this line
d Delete
Deletes this line from the file. Can be specified with a number to indicate that following lines are
also to be deleted.
dd Block delete
f Display the first excluded line
Can be specified with a number to display more than one excluded lines. This command is only
valid on excluded lines.
i Insert a new line after this one
Can be specified with a number to insert multiple lines.
l Display the last excluded line
Can be specified with a number to display more than one excluded lines. This command is only
valid on excluded lines.
lc Convert all text on this line to lower case
Can be specified with a number to convert more than one line to lower case.
lcc Block convert to lower case
m Move
Works the same as copy except that the lines are removed from their current location.
mm Block move
mask Display the mask line above this one
The mask defines the default content for inserted lines.
o Overlay (used with copy and move to specify the line into which the copied/moved line is to be
inserted - only spaces are replaced). Can be specified with a number to indicate that following
lines are also to be overlaid.
oo Block overlay (the lines to be copied/moved are inserted into the block as many times as they
will fit)
r Repeat - create a duplicate of this line
Can be specified with a number to indicate that additional duplicate lines are to be produced.
rr Block repeat
Can be specified with a number to indicate that multiple duplicates of the block are to be
produced.
s Show the excluded line that has the least indentation
Can be specified with a number to display more than one excluded lines. When multiple lines are
displayed they may not be together. This command is only valid on excluded lines.
tabs Show the tab settings above this line
Hardware tabs positions are indicated by asterisks (*) and software tabs by hyphens (-) or
underscores (_).
te Text Entry mode - allows bulk insert following this line
You can start entering data without paying any attention to lines as the text will wrap
automatically. Press the enter key to exit from text entry mode.
tf Text flow - flows the text between the margins for this line and following lines until a blank line
is found, the indentation changes, or a special character (period, colon, ampersand, less than, or
form feed) is found in the first column.
tj Text Join - merges this line with the following one
ts Text split - splits this line in two
You need to position the cursor at the position on the line where you want the split to occur.
uc Convert all text on this line to upper case
Can be specified with a number to convert multiple lines.
ucc Block convert to upper case
x Exclude this line from the display
Can be specified with a number to exclude multiple lines. This command is useful when you need
to view two blocks of data that are in different locations within the file, just exclude the
intervening data from the display.
xx Block exclude
. label assignment
You can assign a label to any non-excluded line by typing a period followed by the label name.
The label can then be used to identify the line in primary commands. You cannot start labels with
"z" as these labels are reserved for system use
Utilities
UTILITIES :
IEBCOMPR
Compare records in sequential or partitioned data sets, or PDSEs
IEBCOPY
Copy, compress, or merge partitioned data sets or PDSEs; add RLD count information to load modules; select
or exclude specified members in a copy operation; rename or replace selected members of partitioned data
sets or PDSEs.
IEBDG
Create a test data set consisting of patterned data
IEBEDIT
Selectively copy job steps and their associated JOB statements.
IEBGENER
Copy records from a sequential data set or convert a data set from sequential organization to partitioned
organization.
IEBIMAGE
Modify, print, or link modules for use with the IBM 3800 Printing Subsystem, the IBM 3262 Model 5, or the
4248 printer.
IEBISAM
Unload, load, copy, or print an ISAM data set.
IEBPTPCH
Print or punch records in a sequential or partitioned data set.
IEFBR14
IEFBR14 is not a utility program, it is a two-line program that clears register 15, thus passing a return code
of 0, and then branches to the address in register 14, which returns control to the system. So, in other
words this program is dummy program.
IEBUPDTE
Incorporate changes to sequential or partitioned data sets, or PDSEs.
IEHINIT
Write standard labels on tape
IEHLIST
List data sets
IEHMOVE
Move or copy collections of data.
IEHPROGM
Build and maintain system control data.
IFHSTATR
Select, format, and write information about tape errors from the IFASMFDP tape
