If you mean to set CAPS OFF in the site-wide profile, I don't think that will help. I think that just establishes the defaults for new profiles. And it would still have the same problem: if your profile is CAPS OFF, and you edit something that is all upper case, ISPF Edit will change the profile to CAPS ON.
And for those that don't know: the profile we are talking about isn't the overall ISPF Edit profile, it is the profile /by file type/. And there's a limit to how many file types ISPF remembers, which is why you have to keep setting options such as NULLS OFF. -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Jousma, David Sent: Wednesday, December 4, 2024 2:41 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: ISPF Edit - how to switch off CAPS ON? You can likely change the default system-wide by modifying the site ISPF options via SYS1.ISP.SISPEXEC(ISPCCONF). We have some site options set, and the output of this creates a usermod for us to apply. /*--------------------------------------------------------------------*/ /* EDIT SITE WIDE PROFILE CUSTOMIZATIONS */ /*--------------------------------------------------------------------*/ /*STATS = ON */ /*FORCE_STATS = NO */ /*FORCE_RECOVERY = NO */ /*RECOVERY_WARNING_MESSAGE = WARN */ /*FORCE_RECOVERY_WARNING_MESSAGE = NO */ /*SETUNDO = ON */ /*FORCE_SETUNDO = NO */ /*PACK = OFF */ /*FORCE_PACK = NO */ /*IMACRO = NONE */ /*FORCE_IMACRO = NO */ /*CAPS = OFF */ /*NOTE = ON */ Dave Jousma Vice President | Director, Technology Engineering From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <[email protected]> on behalf of Radoslaw Skorupka <[email protected]> Date: Wednesday, December 4, 2024 at 3:34 PM To: [email protected] <[email protected]> Subject: Re: ISPF Edit - how to switch off CAPS ON? Well, it is as (in)convenient as typing CAPS OFF everytime, IMHO. Last, but not least sometimes people want to use (another) initial macro. -- Radoslaw Skorupka Lodz, Poland W dniu 04.12.2024 o 21:27, Schmitt, Michael pisze: > The ISPF manual says, in several places, that if you want to always use CAPS > OFF then you need to create an initial macro containing the CAPS OFF command, > and set Edit to use that macro. > > -----Original Message----- > From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List<[email protected]> On Behalf Of > Radoslaw Skorupka > Sent: Wednesday, December 4, 2024 2:19 PM > To:[email protected] > Subject: ISPF Edit - how to switch off CAPS ON? > > I know it was discussed years ago, however maybe I overlooked some > enhancement? > > Problem: > I want to have CAPS OFF in my ISPF Edit profile. > Unfortunately whenever I edit/view any member with no lowercase > characters the profile is automatically changed to CAPS ON. > I understand such behaviour may be useful, however I need to have CAPS > OFF despite of characters in currently edited member. > Any clue? > > -- > Radoslaw Skorupka > Lodz, Poland > > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN This e-mail transmission contains information that is confidential and may be privileged.
