One of several things could be causing the situation. Below are the various items that must be checked: 1. ISPF command table must be updated correctly with the QW command, including the NEWAPPL() paramter . If you cannot use an updated ISPF Command table, refer to member QWX in the MVS/Quick-Ref JCL library. Otherwise, follow these steps. a. First, if you are using a site table, determine the applid of the site table b. Go to ISPF 3.9 c. If you are using a site table, enter the site table applid as the application ID. If you are not using a site table, use “ISP” as the application id. Then, press ENTER. d. On the display, the QW, QWS, and/or QWSDSF entries must appear or the updated ISPF Command Table is not being accessed. If they do not appear, locate the updated ISPF Command Table and make sure it is the first library in the ISPTLIB concatenation. e. The QW entries in the ISPF or site command table must have NEWAPPL(QWRF) for MVS/Quick-Ref R5.2 or prior releases, or NEWAPPL(QWIK) f
