Yes, but it may mess up white space and it may not stop where you want it to. I use TF a lot, and you definitely have to pay attention to what you are doing.
One of the things that I miss the most about ISPF EDIT when I have to do without it is the existence of two sets of shift operators. -- Shmuel (Seymour J.)

In this case it might be interesting to set the bounds to columns 1-71 and then use TF. Unfortunately I can't test this now, but I recall it being handy for formatting code. It may be preferable to have the left bound set to column 10 or elsewhere, depending on what you want. The ISPF editor is very powerful, but it can take a while to explore its full capability. Bounds is one of my favourites, e.g. with C and O to limit what's overlaid, or shifted by > or <, etc. BFN, Peter On 14/07/2020 12:09 am, Seymour J Metz wrote: > TF will not recognize a + in column 72 as a continuation character.
