Recording scripts

This procedure is intended to provide a step-by-step outline to demonstrate how an end user can use Rocket TE to record a script that can then be used over and over again.

The example used in this script shows how you can automate the process of logging on to TSO on an IBM 3270 Mainframe and automatically navigating to the ISPF Primary Option menu. Note that logging on to TSO requires a password. There are more on how passwords are treated during script recording later in this procedure.

Launch a Rocket TE Mainframe Display session and connect to your host.
Form the Rocket TE menu bar, click Script → Record or click the Record Script icon on the toolbar.
A standard Windows file dialog opens.
Give the script a name like TSO Logon and click Save .
Attention: From this point forward everything you do is recorded by Rocket TE.
Log on to TSO and navigate to the place where you want the script to stop recording. This can be as many or few screens as you like. The following example stops on the ISPF Primary Option Menu:
From the Rocket TE menu bar, click Script → Stop to stop the script recording or click on the Stop Script icon on the toolbar.
Your script is recorded.
