CNSCROLL ON causes the IOF Extended Console to be automatically scrolled to the bottom
when a new command is entered so that the new command output is displayed at the top of
the screen.  Users can still scroll up to see previous console commands and command output.
 
CNSCROLL OFF disables automatic console scrolling.
 
 
 
IOFADDC DDNAME (DSN1 DSN2.....) /HEAD/TAIL/DUPLICATES/NL
 
IOFREMC DDNAME DA(DSN1 DSN2 ...)
 
IOFADDC is used by many sites in the IOF initialization clist/exec.
It is sometimes used multiple times for the same DDNAME to concatenate
multiple data sets.  Specifying multiple DSNAMEs on a single
invocation of IOFADDC and IOFREMC is much more efficient than
invoking the commands multiple times.
 
 
 
 
 Automatic Console Scrolling
The new CNSCROLL command controls automatic console scrolling.  Console scrolling
status is saved in the user's profile.  This allows each user to define their preference for
console scrolling.
SNAP Enhancements
The IOF SNAP process was enhanced to make it more efficient.  IOF clists that copy spool
data utilize the new facilities.  SLAMMEMO, SLAMARCH and IOFWTR are examples of
clists that will run faster because of the new facilities.
IOFADDC and IOFREMC Multiple Data Set Support
The IOFADDC and IOFREMC execs can now concatenate or unconcatenate multiple data
sets.
Beta Version Availability
Beta testing for IOF 7G has been closed.
IOF 7G was officially released on November 6, 2001.
