Here at work, when we press PF3 to log off ISPF, we always see the following panel
Code:


                     Specify Disposition of Log Data Set               
Command ===>                                                           
                                                                       
Log Data Set (S1491B.SPFLOG1.LIST) Disposition:                       
Process Option . . . . 2  1. Print data set and delete                 
                          2. Delete data set without printing         
                          3. Keep data set - Same                     
                             (allocate same data set in next session) 
                          4. Keep data set - New                       
                             (allocate new data set in next session)

Is there a setting that ensures the log dataset is deleted without printing (the default in the panel above) without me ever seeing the panel at all?

1. Type 0 (aka SETTINGS) on ISPF primary menu
2. In the settings , look LOG/LIST option on the top left corner
3. Place your cursor on that and hit enter. you would get this

Code:

Followed your instructions. The panels you showed (and I the ones I see) are identical. Trouble is, the panel is still shown (I tried logging off and on once just to see if pressing enter on the Log Data Set panel would make a difference, but no luck).

I'll send a query to support to see if it's a site setting

Misi01,

It depends on how you are exiting ISPF. If you use PF3 from the main ISPF panel it always show you the Log/List panel prompt. On the other hand if you do X or =XALL ( to get out of ALL split screens) you will NOT get the prompt for Log/List.

To verify this behavior do the following

1. Logon
2. Issue the command TSO TIME ( this will create a log entry)
3. go to option 7.5 to browse the log dataset ( just to make sure a log entry was created - you can skip this step if you don't want to)
4. Now type =X on the command prompt, You will not get the prompt for the Log/List panel
5. Repeat the step 2 and 3 and press PF3 instead of X and you will see the log/list prompt

If you don't want to generate the log at all (which eliminates the need to delete it), set the "Primary pages" to 0 (zero).
