Eons ago, I tried out the RACF ISPF panels once. Took me 10x as long
to navigate to the panel as just typing the actual line command. What
those panels should do, but I don't know whether they do this or not,
is display the line command as it's executed.
To this day I don't understand why
I have never used IDF. When I want to trace through authorized code,
I run z/OS under z/VM and use the TRACE command.

we do on the mainframe, to a foreigner.
Allocating datasets shouldn't be that hard to grasp.

How about IDF or tool debug I have been trying to get IDF running so I can
debug code running in key 4 but if you say I’m wasting my time ?

This is a major issue on z/OS today.
My laptop has 10 cores/12 logical processors. I'm developing on the
laptop for z/OS. I constantly have to be aware
They do not support whatever is in TCBPKF. I have seen code in TSO which has
hardcoded x'80'.

Jim,
Great information; thank you.
I worked for EDS in 1978; they were still running OS/MVT 21.8 at that time,
supporting five Blue Cross and Blue Shield plans in the Northeast.
