After looking into it the code is in a load module that appears to have been written in PL/X. There are no visible constants for either 5.8 or 7.9 that could be zapped.
CBTtape file 961 by Yves Colliard is an excellent replacement with many build in edit line commands. It isn't the same as LMAC as it isn't dynamic but it would be worth investigating. Lionel B.

The fact that the edit says the ISPF version must be between 5.8 and 7.9 makes me suspect it is using ZENVIR. What is in the ISPF ZENVIR variable on your z/OS 3.1 system? For example, on a z/OS 2.4 system it is 'ISPF 7.4MVS TSO'. I'm wondering if the high release is a real requirement. You might try zapping the program to change or bypass the edit, so that it can run, and see what happens. -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Billy Ashton Sent: Monday, January 29, 2024 12:36 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Replacement for LMAC program in ISPF 3.1 Hello, we just turned on z/OS 3.1, and its component ISPF 3.1 here. Now, I just saw when editing a member that my LMAC program (from Doug Nadel originally) no longer works, and gives me a message: LMAC005 You must be running an ISPF version greater than 5.8 and less than 7.9 to run LMAC. How should I deal with this? A quick look on the web indicated that I should use the utility function to define each line command to a macro. I currently have 85 macros in my single Rexx driver, and cannot imagine splitting this and going through that. Do I have any way to drive my single macro program like I had before with LMAC?
