Your point is very well taken, however I did not provide the entire CLIST. The EDIT is called repeatedly depening on the number of entries in a file. The Macro sole purpose is to do exactly waht you described. Ithe JOB being submitted is correct, there are only two statements being changed to the Variable passed by the VGET command. After I SUBMIT The JOB I DO NOt want to preserve the original JCL. I Am fully aware of the File Tailoring facility, howver in this scenarion i though this would be a more simpler design. ---------- Original Message ---------- From: Paul Gilmartin <paulgboul...@aim.com> To: IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU Subject: Re: Examing & Setting Return Codes in a CLIST/MACRO Date: Sat, 11 May 2013 22:04:42 -0500 On Sat, 11 May 2013 17:09:19 -0400, Dave Salt wrote: >The edit session ends with CANCEL, which means no changes were saved, which >means ISPF sets the return code of the macro to 4.

Apparently he considers this normal operation, and prefers a zero return code. Does your suggestion leave the file unchanged, end the edit session with RC=0, and not leave the user in a terminal edit session? (When I wish to be reminded not to save changes, I use View rather than Edit. But I don't put the SUBMIT and CANCEL in my macro because I want to inspect the job before SUBMITting.) >> Date: Sat, 11 May 2013 19:44:12 +0000 >> From: essteam >> ... >> ISREDIT CHANGE 'XXXXXXX' '&V0' ALL >> ISREDIT SUB >> ISREDIT CAN >> >> EXIT -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
