That kind of cutting is sometimes called block or column mode and many PC editors support that. Ultraedit, ConText, Crimson Editor to name three.

For example, on TN3270 I can cut and paste columns 10-20 from rows 2-5, and do NOT get columns 1-9 or beyond column 20 for any line. When I try this on any of the PC editors I've used, they want to copy columns 10 through end-of-line from row 2, all of rows 3-4, and columns 1- 20 from row 5. That just never works out too well for my mainframe source files. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
