Refreshing POF values in the user profile

You can specify a value to refresh the existing value of the variable in the user’s ISPF profile data set.

To refresh an option value

To refresh an option value, modify the value of the POF keyword in one of the following ways:

  • Include ,(R) after the option value, as in the following example:

    BMC_LOAD_OPTS=AMU$MMS,(R)

  • Specify a blank and ,(R), as in the following example:

    BMC_LOAD_OPTS= ,(R)

These examples refresh the name of the LOADPLUS user options module.

Important

If the value for the POF keyword ends with a comma, as in the following example, include ,(R) after the comma.

JOBCARD1=//JOBC JOB(&ZACCTNUM),'&PGMR',,(R)

When the POFDATE parameter is later than the previous POFDATE that is stored in the user’s ISPF profile, the specified value refreshes the existing value of the variable in the user’s ISPF profile data set.

To troubleshoot refreshing POF values

  • Verify that the refresh option is coded on the correct POF keyword.
  • Verify the date in the POFDATE parameter.
