Creating a user POF

To define or modify the values in your ISPF profile and a user POF, use the Options panels of the JCL Generation component.

Use the Product Options File (POF) Functions panel to create a user POF or update the values in your ISPF profile. The panel displays the data set name of the initial POF. The panel also displays the value of the POFDATE parameter in the initial POF that was last used to update the ISPF profile.
