Invoking the ABR Install ISPF Dialog

The FDR CLIST Library contains a member named ABRALLOC for installation and testing of the new FDR system. This CLIST invokes the FDR ISPF dialogs by concatenating the FDR ISPF libraries in front of your current ISPF library allocations. During the product install process, the CLIST library was updated to reflect all of the FDR library names to which you loaded the new FDR version.

The Install dialog step 1 has to be repeated every time you login to TSO until you permanently add the new FDR dialogs option to your installation’s ISPF dialog as shown in Installing-the-FDR-Dialogs

Important

All of the panels in this section and the following sections are identified by their ISPF “path” name, for example, A.I.4. This assumes that “A” is the code used on your ISPF main menu to access the FDR dialog main menu; “A” is the code used on the temporary ISPF main menu used by the procedure below. When you install the FDR dialogs for production use, you may choose a different code (for example, “F” that would change the panel names to “F.I.4”, and so on).

Install dialog step 1

Issue the following command either under ISPF option 6 (TSO command processor), or under TSO “READY” mode:

EXEC 'fdr.clist.library(ABRALLOC)'

Use the data set name of the FDR CLIST Library that was specified in the installation process.

This command allocates the FDR ISPF dialog libraries. If you issue the command under ISPF, skip Install dialog step 2 and proceed to Install dialog step 3.

Install dialog step 2

If you invoke the ABRALLOC CLIST from TSO “READY” mode, a standard ISPF primary menu for your version of ISPF, with the ABR option added, is displayed. Select option “A” (ABR) on this menu to access the FDR dialog.
