ISPF for Hercules TK5

 

Hello, I have been using Hercules TK5 for about a week or so and I'm looking for any type of free software to use to develop ISPF panels, skeletons, tables, etc.
?
Would anyone have any recommendations?

The good news: everything is included in TK5!

The other news: there is a learning curve for persons not used to mainframes. Have a look at the previous threads on the subject, and then ask questions here.

Best regards,

¸é±ð²Ô¨¦.

It is a clone of the IBM product but it is not a 1:1 clone
* Panels yes
* Skeletons no
* Clist yes
* Rexx no
* Cobol yes
* Other languages ??no (at least directly)
...
The advice is to take a look at Mr. Belmontes' site

There is a PL/I option, I have used it, but it is not the latest standard, it does not support Select/when.? I thought REXX was part of the latest version.

In the mvs-tk5 directory, you will find a directory "doc" with a lot of PDF files, with many information.
Please start with the "TK5-Introduction-and-user-manual.pdf". In this document, you will find the components installed in TK5.
