I believe that XEDIT and UPDATE are substantially as they were in VM/SP R2, except that starting with R3 you could write your macros in REXX.
With Trunc 71 and Verify 1-72, text won't inadvertently spill over from comments into the continuation column. You can still key a character into column 72. -- Shmuel (Seymour J.)

I did a lot of VM in the 80s, including mods to CP and CMS, but either my memory isn't good or things changed quite a bit. Why is TRUNC set, by default, at 71 for ASSEMBLE files? Is there some tricky was to put in a continuation character or must I reset TRUNC? -- Binyamin Dissen <bdis...@dissensoftware.com> http://secure-web.cisco.com/1wKBsCYCCG7S5XX1nePfKRiOgdCmhMBX2MrO5dumZv3Q-kRSlwqVCx9eZFF-OGZDnBMSLeW5JHo2s0MPcBR0-AFsuP2ptOJQgwh9xnpTLkw9YwUV-u3ZmFSYRhrvOpse2LS8-r_zaaZGN01fRxH057yOcUzid0RAXh6qQoqXI4Vm08v3jQD00H23cGlsElDm9jWyq_9pbgnlqJt0kIq1Rfr288bDo30G1sxhHcXwET4lJNueOGIhPNenSPDKy3bIfqaIowvGBe9beWGlkGKdZLP6Ax7fBh3DTw1w_fzoSD_NUp-_4XRixt9gXyKJFa2LQQ9ccCcCmEMDzWnbW7KpSnapmEFw7_-eJtwlQ-9Ug7Bwlt3Yw5yhdofLveCHlRQs_Q09U_A2wRiSkTmNR8Ylsxs5a_lsQqelFdyVcUewhCYDQmjIFTv6ZCyKLuQKjGWPC/http%3A%2F%2Fwww.dissensoftware.com Director, Dissen Software, Bar & Grill - Israel ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
