How to use OSPI

The first step in automating a function by using OSPI is to use the Scripting application to record the appropriate interactions with a VTAM application in an EXEC.

The generated EXEC contains only OSPI IMFEXEC commands. It will not contain any conditional logic or other commands. See Using-the-IMFEXEC-statements for descriptions of the OSPI IMFEXEC command statements.

Depending upon the function being implemented, you may need to further customize the generated EXEC by combining the appropriate logic and commands with the OSPI IMFEXEC commands.

After the EXEC has been customized, it is ready to be executed. As with any EXEC, it should be thoroughly tested before it is installed into your production system.
