Re: [ISPF-L] Replacement for LMAC program in ISPF 3.1
It was written by Doug Nadel while he was working at IBM so it was definitely the IBM PL/X. My guess is that the code dynamically creates the ISPF line command table and then hooks it in dynamically using control blocks, or ???, that Doug knew as he was in ISPF development. Unfortunately that interface has not been exposed for the rest of us. Lionel B. Dyck <>< Github: https://github.com/lbdyck “Worry more about your character than your reputation.

Bummer! Line macro support works but it was missing one thing at the time. I don’t even recall for sure, maybe it was GLOBAL_LINE_COMMAND_TABLE which I see now.
