Making File Manager the default VSAM editor
You can configure ISPF to specify File Manager as the VSAM editor that is to be invoked automatically when a VSAM data set is specified in ISPF Options 1, 2, 3, or 11. You do this by updating the ISPF Configuration Table Keyword File to provide values for the VSAM-related keywords listed in Table 1:
| Keyword | Suggested value |
|---|---|
| VSAM_EDIT_ENABLED | YES |
| VSAM_EDIT_COMMAND | FMNINV DSE / |
| VSAM_EDIT_LIMITED | NO |
| VSAM_BROWSE_ENABLED | YES |
| VSAM_BROWSE_COMMAND | FMNINV DSB / |
| VSAM_BROWSE_LIMITED | NO |
| VSAM_VIEW_ENABLED | YES |
| VSAM_VIEW_COMMAND | FMNINV DSV / |
| VSAM_VIEW_LIMITED | NO |
| VSAM_RESTRICTED_BROWSE_DATASET | NONE |
| VSAM_RESTRICTED_EDIT_DATASET | NONE |
| VSAM_RESTRICTED_VIEW_DATASET | NONE |
You then use this keyword file to build an ISPF configuration load module. For information about how to do this, see z/OS ISPF Planning and Customizing.
