To update the user POF directly

  1. From the JCL Generation Product Options File (POF) Functions panel, in the Type User POF Name below field, type the name of the data set for your user POF.
  2. In the BROWSE, EDIT, VALIDATE User POF field, type E.

    Important

    You can edit the user POF or the initial POF by using the ISPF edit macro AJXPODAT from the HLQ.BMCCLIB library. This library must be in your SYSPROC concatenation.

  3. Edit and save the file.
  4. In the RESET All Profile Variables from User POF field, type Y to update all of the ISPF variables in the ISPF profile with the variables in the user POF.

    Important

    You can update all of the ISPF variables in the ISPF profile with the variables in the POF by using one of the following Command line commands:

    • To use the variables in the initial POF, enter TSO POFRESET.
    • To use the variables in a specified initial or user POF, enter TSO POFRESET POF(dataSetName(POFMember)).

    To enable these commands, you must modify the POFRESET CLIST. The CLIST is located in the HLQ.BMCCLIB library. A current copy of this CLIST must be in the same SYSPROC concatenated library as your other CLISTs.

  5. Press Enter.
