Starting IPCS without customized access

If access to IPCS has not been customized, you can use the following procedure:
  1. Logon to TSO/E.
  2. (Optional) — Unless you want to use IPCS in line mode, you can skip this step. To start IPCS in line mode, do the following:
    1. Add SYS1.SBLSCLI0 to the SYSPROC concatenation:
      ALTLIB ACTIVATE APPLICATION(CLIST) DA('SYS1.SBLSCLI0')
    2. Enter the IPCS command:
      IPCS

      At this point, you can enter IPCS commands in line mode. You do not need to proceed to the next step unless you want to start the IPCS dialog from IPCS line mode.

  3. Start the ISPF dialog:
    ISPF
  4. Choose the TSO/E commands option from the ISPF menu.
  5. Start the IPCS dialog by entering the following at the prompt:
    EX 'SYS1.SBLSCLI0(BLSCLIBD)'
