Hi,

I have a panel defined as follows in DSRP039.ABCD.EXEC(TEST1) pds



and the REXX program to display the above panel

TEST2


My question is .....,

for the first time execution i could see my PANEL , but if i make any changes to the PANEL coding and save , the new PANEL is not displayed but the old one keeps displaying. When i logoff properly and again logon, then only i am able to see the new changes.

i execute the REXX program with typing EX at the member name.

Kindly help me, how to solve this isse.

Regards...

it does not matter the way You invoked the script ...
for performance reasons ISPF caches the last ( I do not remember the exact number - 10/15/20 ) panels displayed
so in a light utilisation the panel displayed will be the cached one

to make ISPF reload the panel from disk - every time it is used - You will have to test using IIRC option 7 -Dialog test

I think you need a closing:

Otherwise, I think the previous LIBDEF lingers. I think that is why the cached copy remains. If you establish the libdef then end it, the cache should be discarded. (that is, that is what I recall)

Thanks for the reply. I will test this and update ....
