In LMAC CSECT, offset BD4 is '5.8' and BD7 is '7.9'. Code segment at
152 does the checking.

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.

Subject: Re: Replacement for LMAC program in ISPF 3.1
ISPF has 3 variables that an application can interrogate for the
version: ZOS90RL, ZISPFOS, and ZENVIR. 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.

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?
Thank you and best regards,
Billy Ashton
