For example, if you enter :D3 on the command line and move your cursor to line 12 of the file, the three lines 12, 13, and 14 are deleted from the file. This technique is normally used for PF key assignments. address isredit ":HX" Does not work Because it is Not an edit command How to push command to ZCMD ? I tried address ispexec "control errors return" Mycmd = ':HX' "DISPLAY COMMAND(Mycmd)" It does not work ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
