Be careful that you don't wind up with "Do what you thought I meant instead of what I asked for.", which is what everybody claiming "DWIM" actually delivers. -- Shmuel (Seymour J.)

ISPF edit line commands. UC converts the given line to upper case. UCC ... UCC converts the indicated range of lines to upper case. The one place where it fails (fails me, it's working as designed) is if I were to type for example //sysprint dd sysout=* the blah blah report UC converts it to //SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=* THE BLAH BLAH REPORT When what I would like is //SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=* the blah blah report Need the "do what I meant" feature implemented in ISPF edit.
