Defining the workstation with ISPF

About this task

This section shows the ISPF definition for extended agents and agents with z-centric capability.
Extended agents

In ISPF, define the workstation as computer automatic and then set the FT Work station field to Y. The CPUREC statement with the three keywords described in Creating the CPUREC statement for extended agents provides the extended agent specification.

Note: Make sure you write the CPUREC statement before making the ISPF or Dynamic Workload Console definition, because they have no effect without the CPUREC statement.
