Using SET to change contexts
The SET command provides an ISPF dialog to specify the context, product, server, scope, and view of the current window. SET is functionally equivalent to the CONtext, SCOpe, and VIEW commands when all values are specified from its dialog fields.The following figure shows the Set Window Context, Product, Server, Scope, and View dialog displayed after the SET command is used:
Set Window Context, Product, Server, Scope and View Dialog
COMMAND ===>
Window Parameters:
Context ===> DB2L
Product ===> MVDB2
Server ===> *
Scope ===> *
View ===> DMON
Type END to set window parameters
CANcel to quit without setting
Type over any of the displayed settings and press END to activate the new settings. The window is redisplayed with updated data, and the changes are reflected in the window information line. Issue the CANcel command to cancel any changes you made in the SET dialog.
Context Field:
The Context field displays the SSI context or the name of the target active in the current window.
Product Field:
The Product fields displays the product identifier of the product whose view is active in the current window. Refer to “Changing Products, Contexts, and Targets with the CONtext Command” for a list of BMC AMI Ops product identifiers
Server:
The Server field identifies the name of the product address space (PAS) if multiple PASs are operating within a single MVS image. The Server field is important in situations where targets with the same name are accessible to multiple PASs.
Scope:
The Scope field displays the scope of the SSI context currently active in the window. An asterisk (*) appears in the Scope field if the SSI context and the scope are the same.
View:
The View field specifies the name of the view to appear in the active window after saving the values specified with the SET command.
SET establishes the current context, product, and target for the active window. Subsequent views displayed in the same window inherit these values; however, new windows do not. Unless the context for new windows is specified with the SETD command, new windows assume the context, product, and target established at the beginning of the session.
