How to check the number of splitted screens
Posted: Fri Aug 01, 2014 2:07 pm
Hi everybody,
in our homegrown software configuration interface I want to offer a line command which starts a VIEW on a dataset in a newly splitted screen. I already know how to split the screen and start a VIEW. But to present a message if the user has already reached the limit of screen splits (in our installation it's 8) I need to know how many screens are currently open.
I've studied the manuals but didn't found any ISPF variable containing the total of current screens.
Any idea on this?
