That would be OK, this is a macro for my personal use.
However, after I posted the above, I realized that I actually (might) have an
answer in the form of "EDITCLIP",
<https://prino.neocities.org/zOS/zOS-Tools.html#editclip>, an edit macro that I
use to access ISPF clipboard(s) from within other edit macros and even from
outside the ISPF editor, using the "ECLIP" command I set up in a user command
table.
Using the method used in EDITCLIP, i.e. creating a temporary copy of the
"ISRECUTL" panel with a bit of extra code, would allow me to retrieve the names
of all ISPF clipboards ("EFINDCLP") and delete them (individually, or all,
"EDELCLIP [clipboard|*]").
I'll give this a try a bit later, (read: in early 2020), and will post the
results here and, if things work, add them to the my z/OS page.
In the meantime all the best of you all for 2020,
Robert
