You could try something like this: 1. while in edit (or view) exclude all 2. then md to convert all 3. then do a compare *
Now all the 'new' records will have a indicator in the record number field - I don't recall if you can access that but suspect you might be able to do so. Lionel B.

It is as I feared/figured. ISPF edit doesn't have any mechanism to actually search for information in =NOTE= or ==MSG> lines without converting them to full data lines. Rex -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Horne, Jim Sent: Tuesday, April 11, 2023 6:03 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [EXTERNAL] ISPF usage question Check out the ISPF Edit LOCATE command, especially LOCATE SPECIAL and LOCATE NOTE Jim Horne -----Original Message----- 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. ________________________________ NOTICE: All information in and attached to the e-mails below may be proprietary, confidential, privileged and otherwise protected from improper or erroneous disclosure.
