Two things: 1. Go into xedit first, on a dummy file. If the recfm is f, change it to v (xedit command: recfm v). Then on the command line: "pipe cms rac setr list|xedit". This will put the output of the rac command directly into your xedit session. When you're done perusing it, just "qquit". 2. However, the rac command (exec, actually), in addition to displaying the command output, creates a RACF DATA file on your A-disk containing the command output. Go ahead and let it scroll off your screen, then just xedit racf data.
