Default command table entry for SDSF? No such animal that I know of.
If you see one in your ISPCMDS, someone must have modified the IBM
ISPCMDS (instead of using SITECMDS). (unless this was added in z/OS 1.11,
which I don't have access to yet).

DOH! You're right. I added this myself. I have been adding this to
every shop I have been in for the last 20+ years... There is no IBM standard
ISPF Command Table Entry for SDSF. So, my CRS is kicking in again.

Years ago I found it extremely convenient to use SDSF from the ISPF command
line to put SDSF on top of anything I was working on to quickly (or not so
quickly) check something. Then using PF4/RETURN come right back to where
you began. I prefer this over =S or =8 jumps (depending on your shop)
since it forces you to leave hat you are doing. I frequently will do the
following command string from the command line every time I submit a job:

Command ===> SUB;SDSF;PRE xxxxxxx;DA

I actually have a REXX Edit Macro called @RUN that does this and more for
me. I keep @RUN under PF4 in Edit and RETURN under PF4 in SDSF, so to
"toggle back and forth" between SDSF and ISPF edit is always PF4.

In any case, both ISPF command table entries for SDSF are required for the
SDSFSHR EXEC to work.

Sorry for the confusion.

Rob

As many of us have. Only I truncate at 2 instead of 0 (so just "SD" can be
used) and also have "SCRNAME(SDSF)" so one can "SWAP SDSF" directly.
Oh, and of course it's in SITECMDS not a modified version of ISPCMDS.
