ISPF EDIT MACRO: SPLTJN | by Joseph Kohler
Moving from VM/CMS to TSO/ISPF, one of the things I missed was the
SPLTJN command that's available in XEDIT. So, I implemented it as an
ISPF EDIT macro.
If you're not familiar with it, here's what SPLTJN does:
(a) splits the current line at the cursor, or
(b) joins the following line to the current line at the cursor.
Which action it takes depends on where your cursor is on the line.
And because this is a cursor-sensitive function, it works best when
assigned to a PF-key.

THE MISSING LINK | Net blamed for marital breakups
When Great Britain's Tim Berners-Lee invented the World Wide Web in
1989 he was attempting to create a new forum for sharing information
and improving human communication. You can bet he didn't count on
this. A British group that studies married couples found the Web is
increasingly listed as a contributor in the demise of relationships.
According to the firm, one out of every 10 couples polled lists
Internet obsession as a factor in overall unhappiness. Among the
online applications most commonly driving a wedge into marital bliss
were Web pornography, sex-related chat rooms and a service that helps
people get back in contact with old classmates -- often former
admirers.
