Larry,

Your command delimiter is currently set to semi-colon (";").
So, ISPF thinks that the exclude command is really 2 commands and the first, 
the exclude, only has 1 quotation mark.

Go to option 0 and change the command delimiter to something else then try your 
exclude again.

Don't forget to change it back or you'll have a similar error when you start 
doing "normal" work with chained commands.

Subject: Problem with an edit command in tso

I am trying to "remove' lines from a pds member to geet a better view of what 
I need. I am doing this in view mode as I know it doen't work in browse.

I enter on the command line:
x ";" all (trying to get rid of the ;(also tried ")
The message returned is incomplete string 
So I hit f1 to get a better idea of what went wrong and I get:
Put an ending quote at the end of the string.
I thought I did by surrounding the cahr I want to isolate with tics and 2x tics.
What am I missing??
Thanks
Larry
