You can do internet searches on ISPF PACK FORMAT and find many entries on it. You can go to www.ibm.com and search on ISPF PACK and get a lot of information
You can go to ISPF and in the EDIT panel press PF1 (HELP) and find information on it. As others have said, only ISPF can read ISPF PACK format datasets.

What will be the impact if it is set ON in parmlib members ? Any advise or suggestions are highly appreciated.
