Don't know... > Regardless, I understood that FLOW limited editing to columns within > its range, so text beyond column 72 would be left unchanged. I use Kedit, and that's not the case there. Kedit ignores data (in almost every command, not just FLOW) to the right of the 'truncation column'. That's the purpose of that setting. The default of SET TRUNC is the same as the maximum line width, so there's no data to the right of that point so this is only an issue of you've chosen to make it so. Also, in Kedit at least, the term "range" refers to the start and end lines in a file over which a command operates. The start and end columns are set by SET ZONE. -- Jeremy Nicoll - my opinions are my own. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
