TBDISPL page down processing

[KiwiREXXDude]

I was wondering if there was a way to do a page down in a TBDISPL without it processing the selected options? Basically I want to present an ISPF table but allow the user to page down without the options they put on the current rows being processed.

Thanks for any help.

You can try to trap PF7/PF8 by first setting them to "END", then interrogate which PF key was set when it returns to the dialog, but I think that defeats the purpose since you won't actually get scrolling anymore.

Is the command ("DOWN" in this case) available via an ISPF variable? Does ZTDSELS get unset or reset if the marked rows are not immediately handled?

What I have found is if you select nothing the PF key is processed but the ZPFKEY variable is not set, but if you select something and hit "down", the ZTDSELS and ZPFKEY are both set.

It gives me something to work with if I can save the table with selects and subsequent scrolls and process it later, but I think the ZTDSELS will be reset. It would probably be messy but I could create an 'actions' table by 'recording' ZTDSELS, then process it when there is a straight enter...

I think that's your only option. Why can't the individual selections be processed as discovered?

I want people to be able select entries from an entire table and process them in a single batch job. On 'talking about it', I realise I can collect the entries then process them at the end of table processing.
