Re: EDIT MACRO REQUEST
I wonder why I didn't get the original request. I'm going to be THAT GUY who responds by not answering your question, and instead point out that there are way more efficient ways to do this than by starting up ISPF once per member. For example, you can start ISPF once with an exec that opens the library once, then iterates through the members. If you only want to process specific members, you can still have the list in a file that you read, then process each one. Starting up ISPF is slow, and so it opening and closing the PDS once per member. For example: 1. LMINIT ENQ(SHRW) to generate a data id for the library 2. LMOPEN to open for output 3. LMMLIST LIST STATS(YES) to create a list of the members, with statistics While LMMLIST rc = 0 If ZLCNORC = 0 LMPUT to write your NONE line LMMLIST again 4. LMMLIST FREE 5. LMCLOSE 6.

Hi, So I need to change an edit macro to add a function, and most I have figured reading the RTFM, except for this one, if its possible. If this was REXX, and not in a MACRO, I have done this 100 times, however. So I am doing this to find the string, which it does, add I do adds with line_after to insert lines, but what I need is, if its actually coded, need what its set to?. ISREDIT FIND 'DFLTUSER=' 1 FIRST But then is it possible to pull the next 8 characters after DFLTUSER= and put in a variable to use? SET DUSER = (9:17,.ZCSR) Sortof like this but not really? Then I can use this to change/add what I need ISREDIT CHANGE <> FIRST Normally I would just read lines and interrogate for what I need, but I am not sure what I can do after a marco FIND command?

Re: ispf edit macro "HX" line command
my explanation was lost in the post, but before CUT and PASTE were available in ISPF I picked up that rexx from some MVS toolkit, it has some examples of using edit line commands in an edit macro, from that example I have used the line command in other macros when needed.

Re: ispf edit macro "HX" line command
My understanding of the OP's initial request was the ability to display a line in hex from within an edit macro, which is probably doing a lot more than just the hex display as it is very easy to do the HX on the line while in edit/view. Unfortunately there are a very limited number of line command options while in edit - unfortunately none of the enhanced edit line commands. This was my solution (reposting for fun) which can then be included in the OP's edit macro: /* -- REXX - * | ISPF Edit Macro to display the requested record in hex in | | an infoline. (Note: no validation is performed) | | | | Syntax: EHEX line| | | | Where EHEX is the macro name (change as you wish) | | line is a record number | | | | Sample: EHEX 4 | * - */ Address ISREdit 'Macro (line)' '(data) = line' line hex = c2x(data) parse value '' with hextop hexbot do i = 1 to length(hex) by 2 hextop = hextop''substr(hex,i,1) hexbot = hexbot''substr(hex,i+1,1) end 'line_after' line '= infoline (hexbot)' 'line_after' line '= infoline (hextop)' Lionel B.

Re: ispf edit macro "HX" line command
you can use the HX command, like a shift ( ) or a I (insert) the result is that one line in HEX format. I don't know what the reasoning is for turning on HEX for one line but it is possible. ISREDIT HX .ZCSR should work, I don't have time to test but the OP can Carmen On 9/2/2021 9:24 AM, Lionel B. Dyck wrote: You can turn HEX ON or OFF in an Edit macro but you can't do it for a specific record. You can do it yourself in your edit macro and insert the hex info as a note or message line below the real record. I cobbled this together - it is a quick/dirty example of an edit command that will add message lines below the request line with the hex values in a vertical format: /* rexx */ Address ISREdit 'Macro (line)' '(data) = line' line hex = c2x(data) parse value '' with hextop hexbot do i = 1 to length(hex) by 2 hextop = hextop''substr(hex,i,1) hexbot = hexbot''substr(hex,i+1,1) end 'line_after' line '= infoline (hexbot)' 'line_after' line '= infoline (hextop)' The results of using it with EHEX 3 - I named my test macro ehex 03 'Macro (line)' == 447D889944989857444 == 00D413960D3955DD000 04 '(data) = line' line 05 hex = c2x(data) Hope this helps Lionel B.

Re: ispf edit macro "HX" line command
You can turn HEX ON or OFF in an Edit macro but you can't do it for a specific record. You can do it yourself in your edit macro and insert the hex info as a note or message line below the real record. I cobbled this together - it is a quick/dirty example of an edit command that will add message lines below the request line with the hex values in a vertical format: /* rexx */ Address ISREdit 'Macro (line)' '(data) = line' line hex = c2x(data) parse value '' with hextop hexbot do i = 1 to length(hex) by 2 hextop = hextop''substr(hex,i,1) hexbot = hexbot''substr(hex,i+1,1) end 'line_after' line '= infoline (hexbot)' 'line_after' line '= infoline (hextop)' The results of using it with EHEX 3 - I named my test macro ehex 03 'Macro (line)' == 447D889944989857444 == 00D413960D3955DD000 04 '(data) = line' line 05 hex = c2x(data) Hope this helps Lionel B.

I have no idea where the C2 is coming from; the AC is correct.

This insanity inspired me to writ a TRYNOT script:
/* Test whether REXX recognizes all of the logical not characters */
Nots = '\' 'aa'x 'ac'x
do 3
parse var Nots Not Nots
say 'Trying' Not c2x(Not)
interpret 'compare = a' Not'= b'
say Not 'recognized'
end
It's a throwaway; otherwise I would have intercepted the error and written my
own message.

Re: ISPF Edit Macro Regular Expression
There is a variable. I found this old panel of mine: ** * Top of Data * 01 )BODY 02 %CCSID is 03 )END ** Bottom of Data *** But years ago I remember a bit of free code that displayed many more terminal characteristics. I'm not talking ISPF terminal types (I'd recommend using type 3 with PCOMM, some others tell ISPF to sends graphic characters to the screen). I'm talking about things like screen x/y size, color options, whether it can do underlining, character sets, etc. Somebody wrote such a thing and I just forgot who/where/what. And that code may have worked outside of ISPF, since any program doing TPUT/TGET can ask the terminal for its characteristics and dump them out to the screen or whatever.

So the command being issued once ispf is up is
%EDITREX1 XXX0111.DATA(DATAXX) - EICUPDT PARM(1)
> Here is EDITREX1:

so, filename will be XXX0111.DATA(DATAXX)
macro1 will be-
macro2 will beEICUPDT PARM(1)
And it will not work.
Either you need to change the parse statement to take account of the
"-" in the incoming argument string, or you need to leave it out of the
arguments.
Either way you should do some basic sanity checking of the values of
filename, macro1 and macro2 before you use them.

I don't see how it's possible for the code you posted to have produced
that error. Why did the "-" in the original ISPSTART command vanish?

Re: Edit Macro
You are correct; you have to call an EDIT macro from within EDIT. However, you
can write a macro that tests how it was invoked and behaves accordingly.

Re: Edit Macro
So, you would do it like this:
ISPEXEC EDIT DSN(BLAHBLAH) MACRO(START)
In START:
ISREDIT MACRO
ISREDIT EICUPDT 5
ISREDIT END
The initial macro has to call the EICUPDT macro.

Re: Edit Macro
It is a REQUIREMENT that when you run ISREDIT in BATCH, the INPUT TO
ISREDIT MUST BE SUPPLIED BY A MACRO.
So, when your REXX exec launches ISREDIT, it must supply all of the input
to ISREDIT VIA A MACRO.

Well...
The first thing youve got to do is fix your edit macro. When you run an edit
macro in batch, it has to end with "ISREDIT END".
So, you might have two different versions, one for batch and one for online.
Second, when you run ISREDIT in batch, you have to use a macro to supply the
input. So, you'll probably need to rethink how youre invoking ISREDIT in batch.

Re: Edit Macro
Well...
The first thing youve got to do is fix your edit macro. When you run an
edit macro in batch, it has to end with "ISREDIT END".
So, you might have two different versions, one for batch and one for online.
Second, when you run ISREDIT in batch, you have to use a macro to supply
the input. So, you'll probably need to rethink how youre invoking ISREDIT
in batch.

OK, fair enough... and if you were designing it now you'd probably choose a different structure. Couldn't the table inside the execs, that gets changed every so often, be put in a rexx external function, called by every exec/macro that needs to access the data? Or be vput into application profile variables, or even an ispf table? Whether that's practical depends on the size of the table(s), I suppose. > > I suppose I'd have chosen to read the existing definitons first and only > > call an > > edit macro to update them if they needed to change. > > Same difference, but in that case you would have to open the "handful > of others" potentially twice!

Re: ISPF edit macro behaivor in SDSF
Thanks Rob, the top of my rexx is basically the same as your test and seemed to behave the same as mine. But your suggestion prodded me in the right direction to an explanation of whats going on. What I discovered, is in the PFKey settings used in SDSF EDIT, 'ISF Keylist ISFEDKEY' I had the PFkeys set to: PF22 . . ;CA E PF23 . . ;CA V Once I removed the ';' from the beginning of the command all is well and working correctly. I thought at one time, the prefix ';' was needed on a pfkey to simulate the command preserving the cursor position, but apparently that isn't needed any more. Seems like it was initially needed for the QW clist to allow point and shoot at message numbers. Further, I don't find any reference to the prefix ';' in ISPF User's Guide Vol II. The only special characters shown there are ':' and '>'.Could this have changed sometime in the last (cough cough) years?

ISPF edit macro behaivor in SDSF
I have an edit macro that I've used in one form or another for many years, it's my version of the point and shoot edit. Place the cursor on a dataset name in a jcl member for instance, hit the PFK set to ';CA' and you are taken to edit of that dataset. It discerns the dataset name by doing a ISREDIT "(lne,col) = CURSOR" and parsing out the dataset name you are pointing at. I'm not sure when I first noticed it, but it appears to not operate correctly in SDSF (z/OS 2.2 currently) edit of JCL or output from the SJ or SE line command. The row and column returned are of the first non-blank character of the next line, someone pressed enter before invoking the macro, which usually with a JCL listing, just happens to be a '/' so you end up with a 'z/OS UNIX Directory List' of the root. I don't find any mention of any restrictions on edit macros in the SDSF FM. Anybody else tried this? is it pmr time?

EDIT Macro
I have a JCL Check product that uses an EDIT Macro to check the JCL. This EDIT Macro has been copied under different member names through the years. The customers uses whatever process was provided when hired. The question is can I call another edit macro within another edit macro. Ex. JJ1 JJ2 JJ3 are all exactly the same. How can I leave JJ1 alone and have JJ2 & JJ3 call JJ1. The manuals were not very informative. I tried EXEC 'aaa.aaa.aaa(JJ1)'Cant exec an edit macro that way. I really don't want to use PDS ALIAS technique. Any help would be appreciated.

Re: Message IRX0006I running an edit macro CLIST
Ah yes, that makes sense. I did not realise that ISPEXEC SELECT
PGM(J00YCKAL) PARM(JLRCL) actually processed the dataset being edited.
So ISREDIT MACRO is required in that case.

Re: Message IRX0006I running an edit macro CLIST
I have no stake in defending the JEM CLIST, but AFAIK 'ISREDIT MACRO' is
required in order to run it from the command line with just 'jem'. For better
or for worse, that's how people use the product. You're in edit on a JCL
member. Before submitting, you execute JEM to increase your chances of getting
a clean run. It does more than check JCL syntax. It also tries to check that
data sets referred to actually exist and that in general the logic flow is at
least superficially valid. Invoked as simply as possible.
PROC is not required for this function. Up to now, PROC never got in the way of
successful execution.

FWIW
The oddity is that there are *no* edit macro statements after "ISREDIT MACRO
(PARMSTR)". So why is an edit macro declared in the Clist?
E.g. "ISPEXEC SELECT PGM(J00YCKAL) PARM(JLRCL)" etc.can be issued directly from
the Clist proc and does not need an edit macro to do that.
Sure, edit macros are normally invoked from the command line in edit mode. But
they can also be invoked by Clist and REXX procs, and then not from the command
line. So if JEM is a Clist that in turn invokes an edit macro, then 'TSO JEM +
any parms' would be used to invoke JEM as a Clist (and ISPF option 6 could
invoke it simply as 'JEM + any parms'). So, is JEM meant to be invoked as a
Clist ("PROC 0 ...") or as an edit macro ("ISREDIT MACRO ()")?
I give up.

Re: :Re: Message IRX0006I running an edit macro CLIST
*Any* commands that can be issued in a Clist or REXX proc (e.g. "ISPEXEC
SELECT PGM(J00YCKAL) PARM(JLRCL)" etc.)can also be issued in an edit
macro. But *only edit* statements (e.g. "EXCLUDE ALL P'¬'" then "CHANGE
ALL P'.' ' ' NX" etc.) can be issued in edit macros. The point I was
making was that *no* edit commands (that could be issued *only* in edit
macros) were being issued after the "ISREDIT MACRO (PARMSTR)" - which
thus made the "ISREDIT MACRO (PARMSTR)" statement wholly irrelevant
(because no actual *edit* commands then followed it). All the commands
that *did* follow it could be issued in native Clist or REXX, without a
preceding "ISREDIT MACRO" statement.
BTW I use "ADDRESS" only for "ADDRESS IPCS", to avoid having to juggle
between "ADDRESS TSO/MVS/ISREDIT/ISPEXEC/whatever-else".

In Rexx, I have done in at least one case:
address 'ISREDIT' 'MACRO (Arg1)' /* Use Edit macro argument */
if RC<>0 then Arg1 = arg( 1 ) /* else use Rexx argument. */
... This works in Edit as a macro (just for convenience; it depends on no
