ISPMISS=value

Details

When the ISPF variable has a length of zero, the value of ISPMISS= is the value that is assigned to SAS character variables defined to ISPF via the SAS VDEFINE user exit that have formats or informats associated with them that are automatically specified. The specified value must be one byte in length.

Note: The specified value is substituted only if the SAS system option ISPCHARF is in effect when the variable is identified to ISPF via VDEFINE. (See ISPCHARF System Option: z/OS.) [cautionend]

To display the current settings of your ISPF options, use PROC OPTIONS GROUP=ISPF.
