ISPF (then called SPF) was introduced with MVS in 1974. FSE to my knowledge was introduced latrr.

Try typing HELP EDIT at READY or in ISPF option 6. - ISPF EDIT is a full-screen editor with a BOUNDS command. It was inspired by FSE (Full Screen Edit) in the early 1980s. ISPF EDIT is the editor that is used almost exclusively under z/OS. All of the above discussion applied to ISPF EDIT despite referring to TSO EDIT. ISPF runs under TSO/E. TSO EDIT does not require ISPF. ISPF EDIT requires both TSO/E and ISPF. While everyone seems to have understood what was intended, it might pay to be a bit more accurate, as there are various native TSO commands that provide (all but unknown and unused) line-mode analogs to a few ISPF facilities with similar names, e.g. COPY, ASM, LINK, LISTCAT, etc. On Fri, Jul 25, 2014 at 1:45 PM, Ted MacNEIL <eamacn...@yahoo.ca> wrote: > Native TSO EDIT does not have a bounds command. > > - > -teD > - > Original Message > From: Lizette Koehler > Sent: Friday, July 25, 2014 13:04 > To: IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU > Reply To: IBM Mainframe Discussion List > Subject: Re: TSO EDIT COMMAND - BOUNDS > > It was not clear if you are using NATIVE TSO EDIT or if you are using ISPF > There are two lists you may wish to join if you have not done so already > > TSO/REXX URL to join: > http://www2.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?TSO-REXX > ISPF URL to join: > https://listserv.nd.edu/cgi-bin/wa?A0=ispf-l > > > > Using ISPF you can restrict a change command by combining LABELS and > COLUMNS > > So if your data is on lines 50 to 100 - type a .a (dot a) on line 50, then > a .b (dot b) on line 100. > > Then the change command would look like > > C "string" "newstring" .a .b 35 50 all > > This will only change the lines .a to .b and only columns 35 to 50 and the > ALL says do all lines > > > Use PF1 for HELP in ISPF > > Review CHANGE and LABELs and COLUMNs > > You can exclude lines you do not want changes to occur on and then your > change command could look like > > C "string" "newstring" .a .b 35 50 all NX > NX says only lines showing - not excluded > > > What would might work better is to use ISPF in Batch.
