ISPF
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
ISPF (Interactive System Productivity Facility) is a tool set for the IBM z/OS (MVS, OS/390) operating system for mainframe computers. It includes a screen editor, the user interface of which was emulated by some microcomputer editors sold commercially in the late 1980s, including SPFPC.
It primarily provides an IBM 3270 terminal interface with menus and dialogs to run tools on the system under TSO. ISPF is frequently used to manipulate z/OS data sets via its PDF (Product Development Facility).
ISPF is user-extensible and it is often used as an application program interface. Many vendors have created products for MVS that use the ISPF interface.
