1. Shouldn't happen if you hit enter right away. They're just lines for you to insert text, if wanted. 2. The file has to have variable length records to negate padding.

Cool idea but 1. It inserts a blank line between records. 2. It pads my records with blanks. I want RECFM=V records that end where they end.

Just edit the dataset, enter the KEYS command and set the PF key of your choice to ":TS" (without the quotes). The sets the pfkey to the "text split" line command. Now you can position the cursor on the desired spilt character and fire away. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
