Mike,
I have been creating my own "XEDIT" on any CMS userid I use, for so long,
that is almost the first thing I do when I encounter a new System
It is annoying when you go to a NEW place and it is not set up "properly"
good luck

XEDIT SET CASE default setting - is it the best?
Hi,
I was asked for help with a Linux install problem and it seems that the
Linux parameter file, stored in a CMS file, had been folded to upper case.
Getting the parameter file with the correct case will probably fix the
problem.
The default setting seems to be CASE UPPER for most file types (though I
don't see that specifically stated in the XEDIT Commands manual - maybe I
missed it). I do see on line 4 of the PROFILE XEDIT shipped on the MAINT
191 disk, the command "SET CASE M I". So the default is overridden on
MAINT, but not on other user IDs that don't have a PROFILE XEDIT.
Does this make sense? There is an argument that changing this default
would break existing code/environments. Do people agree with this
argument? Or would you prefer to see the default change to CASE MIXED?
(not that I have much influence on such a possible decision :)) Thanks.
