Documentation


 CA11TABL allows the user to "capture" the contents of the CA11 ISPF interface
 output.  When you use the CA11 ISPF interface, the results of each command are
 placed in a temporary ISPF table named CA11ITBL.

 When you are viewing the results in the CA11 ISPF interface, you type TSO
 CA11TABL on the command line and press .  The contents of CA11ITBL are
 dumped into an FB 80 sequential file with the name format of
 userid.TEMP.CA11TABL.date.time.  where "date.time" is a current time/date
 stamp.

 Once the table is dumped into the file, you are taken into an ISPF edit session
 on the file.  From here, you may use this file like any other file.  Note:  the
 file is placed on "work" DASD, so it will be scratched at night.  It would be
 up to you to save any contents for longer rentention.
