Interactive System Productivity Facility/Program Development Facility (ISPF/PDF) is a programmers text editing environment for mainframe systems from IBM, while the editor itself has never been ported to any of the smaller systems the company made a number of tools that allowed people to work with the editor from PC based computers. Early versions were basically 3270-type terminal emulators that connected to a mainframe via a serial connection and offered some scripts to help with integration. Later a simple client server of sorts was offered by giving the terminal emulators simple file communication capabilities, a MVS program called IND$FILE handled file transfers and later you could also use the FTPB protocol.
Implementations
- ISPF/PC - IBM EZ-VU Editor
- ISPF Client/Server
- ISPF/PDF clones
- Hybrid Editor XE - Runs on OS/2, DOS, AIX and more systems.
- Editors that offer some ISPF compatibility
- Preditor/2 - ISPF keyboard mappings, window layout and more.
License and availability
- Discontinued commercial software, ISPF itself is still maintained for mainframe system but the ISPF Client/Server development has been discontinued although it is still supplied with z/OS systems.
