|
|
Currently I have a requirement wherein the user edits the data in a spreadsheet and sends the file to me. Using the file transfer, I upload the file to mainframe dataset and read this input data in a Cobol program. Often times the user sends me some weired formatted data and I have to manually correct the file before uploading.
The spread sheet has like 200 rows and only 1 or 2 actual column value changes when I get the spreadsheet. After from the 1 or 2 changes, I get a lot of formatting issues.
Well I am planning to get rid of the upload part and put the 200 records in a dataset and give a panel to the user to edit the data by changing or adding a couple of rows to the input. Where do I start reading to create a panel, read/write the dataset to insert/replace/delete existing rows or columns.
TIA |

Panels are components of ISPF Dialog, so you need to start by reading ISPF Dialog Developer's Guide.
Handling datasets and interacting with ISPF panels can be done in any Z/os language, but for your request, I think REXX would be perfect. You may want to read about it in TSO/E REXX Reference.
