Issue/Introduction
The message "DOWN is not active" appears, when using the [F8] button, on a CA View ISPF panel.
What is missing in the View setup that would cause this condition to occur?
Environment
Release:
Component: VIEW
Component: VIEW
Resolution
As the client is interfacing View via ISPF, two things can cause the problem of "DOWN is not active":
. When executing View from ISPF, you need to make sure the View CVDEPNL0 and CVDETBL0 libraries are allocated to the ISPPLIB and ISPTLIB DD's, respectively, in your logon proc.
. The SAR.ISPTLIB must be concatenated in the logon proc or the libdef CLIST.
. The CLIST statement that executes the online program for View must look like the following:
'PGM(SARSPF) PARM(database name) NEWAPPL(SAR) PASSLIB'
. Without the NEWAPPL(SAR), the PF keys will not function.
In this instance, the client changed the CLIST statement to using NEWAPPL(SAR), and the DOWN function then worked as expected.
