sorry. i wasn't clear. it is easy to show, but difficult to describe. let me say it this way. when you have multiple ispf screens open, like me, from 1 to 8 (doesn't matter how I name them), then when you hit PF9 it switches between two different screens.
i want to make it switch between the two screens I want it to. ________________________________________ From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [IBM-MAIN@bama.ua.edu] On Behalf Of Steve Comstock [st...@trainersfriend.com] Sent: 23 May 2011 19:42 To: IBM-MAIN@bama.ua.edu Subject: Re: PF9 Swap question On 5/23/2011 10:22 AM, Lindy Mayfield wrote: > I have been using multiple ISPF screens for many years now, 12 or so. > I have memorized what each one is.

Go back to the ISPF class I taught there a in November, 2008. In the ISPF class, look at pp. 166-172 (especially note the last bullet on p. 172) Also look around in the class libraries for a member "MYSTART" which starts up and names four or five screens for you. > > Problem is that I still cannot figure out how to make PF9 > swap between two screens that I want.

If you have 'swap next' the swap is to the next screen on the screen list. > > I know it can be done, because I do it accidentally quite > often, but even after all these years I haven't figured out the pattern. > > thank you very much > Lindy -- Kind regards, -Steve Comstock The Trainer's Friend, Inc. 303-393-8716 http://www.trainersfriend.com * To get a good Return on your Investment, first make an investment! + Training your people is an excellent investment * Try our new tool for calculating your Return On Investment for training dollars at http://www.trainersfriend.com/ROI/roi.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
