You are correct in that the IBM supplied Xedit + IBM supplied macros (one of which is ALL) do not do this. However macros such as INCLUDE and EXCLUDE and/or various other names have been floating around the user community since ALL became available. Some of them may even be yours. The syntax is different from ISPF because ISPF != Xedit. Results are same or similar. -- Rich Greenberg N Ft Myers, FL, USA richgr atsign panix.com + 1 239 543 1353 Eastern time.
