It can be done if you have ISPF Productivity Tool (formally known as SPIFFY), an ISPF enhancement product which among other things supports enhanced cut/paste to multiple "clip boards" within multiple contexts. However, unless things have changed this is not a free product, so unless some of its other features are also very appealing to management it might be difficult to cost-justify. I'm thinking one could even kludge their own one-clipboard version of split-screen edit cut/paste using REXX Edit macros without too much difficulty.
