In computing, Interactive System Productivity Facility (ISPF) is a software product for the z/OS operating system that runs on IBM mainframes. It includes a screen editor, the user interface of which was emulated by some microcomputer editors sold commercially starting in the late 1980s, including SPFPC. ISPF primarily provides an IBM 3270 terminal interface with a set of ''panels''. Each panel may include menus and dialogs to run tools on the underlying Time Sharing Option (TSO). Generally, these panels just provide a convenient interface to do tasks—most of them execute modules of IBM mainframe utility programs to do the actual work. ISPF is frequently used to manipulate z/OS data sets via its Program Development Facility named ISPF/PDF, where ''PDF'' refers to Program Development Facility. ISPF is user-extensible and it is often used as an application programming interface. Many vendors have created products for z/OS that use the ISPF interface. An early version was called merely SPF and introduced in MVS system in 1974. Originally this stood for ''Structured Programming Facility'', since it was introduced about the same time as structured programming concepts, but later the name was changed to ''System Productivity Facility''. In 1985 IBM ported ISPF/PDF to its VM/SP operating system, where it was able to use either PDF or XEDIT as an editor. ISPF can also be run from a z/OS batch job. ==ISPF/PDF Interactive Tools== When a user signs on to TSO they can start up ISPF/PDF. Through a menuing system this provides them access to many useful tools for application development and for administering the z/OS operating system. Such tools include *Browse - for viewing data sets, Partitioned Data Set (PDS) members, and Unix System Services files. *Edit - for editing data sets, PDS members, and Unix System Services files. *Utilities - for performing data manipulation operations, such as: * *Data Set List - which allows the user to list and manipulate (copy, move, rename, print, catalog, delete, etc.) files (termed "data sets" in the z/OS environment). * *Member List - for similar manipulations of members of PDSs. * *Search facilities for finding modules or text within members or data sets. * *Compare facilities for comparing members or data sets. *Library Management, including promoting and demoting program modules. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「ISPF」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
