ISPF
|
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.
It primarily provides a 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.
