DYNA-STEP™ Dynamic STEPLIB and ISPF Library Management

Manage STEPLIBS and ISPF Libraries under both TSO and ISPF - Replace TSOPLUS

Dynamically allocate STEPLIB and ISPF libraries to save time, reduce maintenance, and save systems resources...

Using DYNA-STEP, allocation of STEPLIB and ISPF datasets is removed from LOGON procedures, and automatically managed in product startup CLISTS and REXX EXECs, allowing fewer and more efficient LOGON PROCs.

The datasets allocated using DYNA-STEP function as actual STEPLIB datasets, just as those specified in users' TSO LOGON procedures. The DYNA-STEP command format is compatible with the TSO allocate command and can be issued from TSO READY or ISPF. Under ISPF, each logical screen may allocate separate STEPLIB datasets independently of other split screens or while at TSO READY.

The DYNA-STEP Dynamic Benefits Include:

Faster TSO LOGONS
Faster response time in most ISPF applications
Less maintenance associated with numerous LOGON PROCs

The DYNA-STEP Bottom Line Advantages Include:

Increased service levels
Increased user productivity
More efficient use of system resources
Real Dollar Savings

DYNA-STEP commands can be imbedded in CLISTs & REXX EXECs to automate STEPLIB allocation across applications.

Used in ISPF CLISTS, DYNA-STEP enables users to switch from test to production versions by selecting ISPF menu options.

DYNA-STEP dynamically allocates additional ISPF and TSO library types such as ISPLLIB, ISPPLIB, ISPMLIB, ISPTLIB, and ISPSLIB. In addition, DYNA-STEP enables users to dynamically allocate or alter any closed TSO DD statement, providing complete flexibility to manage library and dataset concatenations on-the-fly.

With DYNA-STEP you can:

Dynamically allocate up to 128 data sets to any DDNAME, including STEPLIB.
Dynamically alter the TSO/ISPF allocations to immediately access multiple applications.
Expand or replace user's LOGON-specified STEPLIB allocations, reducing the number of LOGON PROCs necessary and their maintenance.
Dynamically create new DDNAMEs and / or insert libraries at any position into an existing DDNAME concatenation.
Execute "Push and Pop" commands allowing multiple STEPLIB concatenations to be temporarily saved and restored anytime during the session.
Allocate or free libraries with TSO Command Processors using CPLIB feature.
Reduce system I/O and contention on STEPLIB volumes.
Shorten response times, improve user service levels, reduce resource consumption and save dollars.
