    The ISPF interface performs the following actions:

    • Uses profile values that have been specified through Build JCL panels to generate JCL for executing an analysis job
    • Displays the generated JCL in a temporary data set in an ISPF View session

    After you view the JCL, you can submit it for execution.

    Changes you make to the displayed JCL do not change your profile values.

    For more information, see Generating-and-viewing-Log-Analyzer-JCL.
