If it's a single line change, I just edit the resulting ptf member and
remove the extra modification. If it's in a group of lines being
changed, it's most likely going to be in the ptf anyway.

I had a disappointment with XEDIT Update mode: If I touch
a line; have second thoughts and restore it, even by an
immediate ERASE EOF, it puts the line needlessly in the
Update file. Working in a cooperative development project,
I resorted to using basic XEDIT and generating my updates
with SuperC UPDCMS8.
I went to SR with the ERASE EOF misbehavior; got WAD.
OTOH, UPDMVS8 requires valid line numbers on both
comparands; UPDCMS8 only on OLD. So I have generated
IEBUPDTE input using UPDCMS8 plus a Rexx filter.
diff/patch is more flexible; no 73-80 dependency.
