TSO/ISPF serves as both a system management interface and a development interface for traditional z/OS programming. What is TSO? Time Sharing Option/Extensions (TSO/E) allows users to create an interactive session with the z/OS system. TSO provides a single-user logon capability and a basic command prompt interface to z/OS. What is ISPF?

ISPF is a menu-driven interface for user interaction with a z/OS system. The ISPF environment is executed from native TSO. ISPF provides utilities, an editor and ISPF applications to the user. To the extent permitted by various security controls, an ISPF user has full access to most z/OS system functions.

TSO provides a single-user logon capability and a basic command prompt interface to z/OS. Most users work with TSO through its menu-driven interface, Interactive System Productivity Facility (ISPF). This collection of menus and panels offers a wide range of functions to assist users in working with data files on the system.

ISPF provides a thin gateway service that allows applications to start a TSO address space, send a TSO or ISPF command as input, and receive a response as output. Callers of this service are typically applications that are serving remote clients that want to issue TSO or ISPF commands.

Interactive System Productivity Facility (ISPF) is a menu-driven interface to most of TSO functions. Using ISPF, TSO functions can be invoked using menu options and answering system prompt. For example: TSO is similar to DOS approach, ISPF similar to windows menu approach.

TSO is the short form of Time Sharing Option in which multiple users can access the MVS. ISPF is the shorthand for Interactive Search and Display Facility Search
