Skip, I think you are missing my point. I'm not talking about batch at all. (Yes, I know how to run a BATCH TSO/ISPF session, with Edit MACROS). What I'm asking about specifically, is an ISPF (look alike) editor for RD/z. LPEX seems to come the closest, but it still leave a lot to be desired.
So I guess my real question is: Does anyone have any RD/z LPEX plugins to ease the pain of going from ISPF to LPEX. Thanks again to all.

Here's a tiny snippet of ISPF edit in batch. I would not call it 'interactive', but it's context sensitive, so results depend on the data being edited. There is no separator character in play. These lines are all in a Rexx. ADDRESS ISPEXEC "ISREDIT MACRO" "VGET (cpldsn cplvolp cplvola)" ADDRESS ISREDIT "(memname) = MEMBER" /* current member name */ "C ALL 'DEST=TSAF' 'DEST=HOLD3' " "C ALL 1 '// ' '//*' " /* null cards to comments */ "X ALL '//' 1" /* exclude JCL and comment lines */ "F FIRST NX 'DEFINEDS' " /* find first or only define stmt */ "F NEXT NX 'DEFINEDS' " /* find next define stmt, if any */ IF RC = 0 THEN DO /* multiple define stmts found */ "DEL .ZCSR .ZLAST" /* delete extraneous lines */ END . .

I perceived the OP as wanting to use interactive (not batch) ISPF as a plug-in editor for RD/z. Does "don't use separator characters" mean that no character is sacrificed as a separator; than one can freely code such as: address ISREDIT 'find a;b' and not having the ";" (or any other character) being taken as a separator? -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN The information contained in this message is proprietary and/or confidential.
