What I meant is that XEDIT has no sequence as simple as:
EXCLUDE ALL
FIND wombat ALL
Not correct. All does just that. "ALL /wombat/"
... looking at the display, I decide I want to see additional
lines, so I:
FIND xyzzy ALL
... now I see the lines containing wombat and/or xyzzy for a
single additional command with a single target. I once wrote
an XEDIT macro to do this, but I believe the supplied ALL XEDIT
doesn't do anything close.
You are correct in that the IBM supplied Xedit + IBM supplied macros
(one of which is ALL) do not do this. However macros such as INCLUDE
and EXCLUDE and/or various other names have been floating around the
user community since ALL became available. Some of them may even be
yours.
The syntax is different from ISPF because ISPF != Xedit. Results are
same or similar.
Use "all/wombat/|/xyzzy/" to display lines with "wombat" and/or
"xyzzy"
then "shad off" to hide the "x line(s) not displayed" lines
