The ISPF environment remains one of the most powerful ways to interact with the mainframe—and it becomes even more valuable when combined with CLISTs and REXX to automate and streamline processes. In this session, we’ll explore how to enhance mainframe productivity by leveraging these programming interfaces alongside customized ISPF panels. You’ll see how user-written tools can unlock powerful services within ISPF to simplify repetitive tasks, reduce manual effort, and improve operational efficiency. Whether you're looking to modernize how you interact with the platform or simply get more done with fewer keystrokes, this session will show you how.
