15. Starting from the Primary Option Menu screen of the ISPF/PDF interface, one presses the function key F3, or executes the command EXIT of X. At that point one sees the TSO "READY" prompt. Which is the most efficient way to restart the ISPF/PDF interface?

One executes the command “ISPF” or the command “PDF”

One executes the command “RESTART ISPF/PDF”

One restarts the 3270 emulator session on the PC

To restart the ISPF/PDF interface, one can execute the command "ISPF" or the command "PDF". This will initiate the interface again and allow the user to continue working. It is not necessary to log off and log on again to refresh the TSO session, as the interface can be restarted directly using the mentioned commands. Restarting the 3270 emulator session on the PC is not the most efficient way to restart the ISPF/PDF interface.
