PREFACE
This manual provides an overview and initial planning information for
two related program products: the Interactive System Productivity
Facility (ISPF) and the ISPF/Program Development Facility (ISPF/PDF, or

separate products; for MVS and VM/SP they were previously combined in
the System Productivity Facility (SPF) Program Product.
The manual covers the following topics:
