Type ISPF and press Enter to invoke ISPF and display the main menu panel. It is a menu from which you select the facility that you wish to use. Then type “A” or “ a” in the COMMAND field from the main menu to go to start ART BATCH ISPF.

With ART Batch ISPF, there is no need to work at the command line. You may choose the desired function by typing your selection in the panel OPTION or COMMAND fields.

From any panel, the END command returns you to the previous panel. The RETURN command takes you immediately to the Main Menu panel from any point in the system. PF7 scrolls the display up. PF8 scrolls the display down. Tab key moves the cursor to the beginning of the next input field. The Back-tab (Shift + tab) key moves the cursor to the beginning of the previous input field. Arrow keys to move the cursor.

In some panels, if the entry field contains text provided by system, you can type over it. Some commands are case-insensitive.
