Hello list, Yes, this is an ISPF question but I don't know of anybody in the z/OS world that doesn't use ISPF - and I don't know if the ISPF list (if it is still operational) has much traffic. So here goes.
Running certain ISPF macros and/or commands, we get lines added to the ISPF edit screen with "=NOTE=" or "==MSG>" lines. Is there a way to make these lines searchable without converting them to full data lines? The specific instance I'm asking about is running a third party JCL checker, the lines output from the checker are typically notes or messages. The nice thing about them being such, is they aren't really part of the member being edited/checked so if I save the member, these lines aren't included in the member being saved. The drawback of them is that they aren't searchable, so for example, if I'm looking at output with a called PROC, and I want to search for a particular piece of substituted JCL, I can't do so (that I know of) unless I do a full "make data" on the member, which then makes me vulnerable to accidentally saving the member with all the notes and messages still there.
