Invoking Z Data Tools panels from outside Z Data Tools
Z Data Tools panels can also be invoked directly
from any REXX procedure, TSO clist or ISPF Command line. To do this, enter the
function name for the required Z Data Tools panel
(as listed in the “Equivalent function” column in
Summary of Z Data Tools panels).
This method of invoking Z Data Tools causes ISPF
to display a panel for the specific function allowing you to enter the values
required for function processing.
For example, from any ISPF Command line, you can enter the following command to display the Z Data Tools Print Utility (option 3.2) panel:

or DSE (Data Set Edit), Z Data Tools:
- Bypasses the entry panel (where you would normally specify the data set name and other options, such as the name of a stored template you might wish to use when displaying the data set).
- Goes directly to viewing or editing the specified data set.
