For example, if you want caps mode on even if the data contains lowercase data, create an initial macro with a CAPS ON command. The editor first reads the edit profile and the data, then it sets caps mode to correspond to the data. Next, it runs your initial macro, which overrides the edit profile setting of caps mode. But would you need to specify such an initial macro in multiple profiles? Is there no provision for a default or "otherwise" profile in which you could code a SELECT instruction to cover multiple data set types? I'm a strong advocate of minimal munging -- Leave my data alone! The default should always be ASIS. In the past I've used Teletype-oriented editors which reversed the 3270-culture conventions: "lower" meant convert all input to lower case, and"caps" meant "asis". -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
