OK, I am seeing that as I investigate the NaviQuest setup. Sets ISPF variables needed prior to invoking a panel, then executes a “batch panel” to run the real process with those values. Slightly more complicated than that of course, but that seems to be the general idea.
Might work if this old application has reasonable panel implementations with not too much buried in actual program code as opposed to panel and script logic. May be worth a try anyway. Thanks.

I am saying that the techniques used in the Naviquest application to run ISP.F panels in batch might help develop scripts to run your ISPF panels in batch. I don't remember for sure, but it's probably CLIST. > -----Original Message----- > From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List > <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> On > Behalf Of Farley, Peter > Sent: Friday, November 8, 2024 1:01 PM > To: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> > Subject: Re: Old ISPF application scripting from batch? > > I’m not sure I understand your answer – How does Naviquest (which at first > glance seems to be batch manipulation of the ISMF storage definition system) > help me script a totally separate old ISPF application that has nothing to do > with storage management? > > Are you saying the Naviquest batch tool can be used to manipulate more than > just the ISMF application screens? > > Color me confused. > > Peter > > From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List > <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> On > Behalf Of Dave Gibney > Sent: Friday, November 8, 2024 2:49 PM > To: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> > Subject: Re: Old ISPF application scripting from batch? > > > The Naviquest application (Part od ISMS) is batch ISPF.
