*Any* commands that can be issued in a Clist or REXX proc (e.g. "ISPEXEC
SELECT PGM(J00YCKAL) PARM(JLRCL)" etc.)can also be issued in an edit
macro. But *only edit* statements (e.g. "EXCLUDE ALL P'¬'" then "CHANGE
ALL P'.' ' ' NX" etc.) can be issued in edit macros. The point I was
making was that *no* edit commands (that could be issued *only* in edit
macros) were being issued after the "ISREDIT MACRO (PARMSTR)" - which
thus made the "ISREDIT MACRO (PARMSTR)" statement wholly irrelevant
(because no actual *edit* commands then followed it). All the commands
that *did* follow it could be issued in native Clist or REXX, without a
preceding "ISREDIT MACRO" statement.
BTW I use "ADDRESS" only for "ADDRESS IPCS", to avoid having to juggle
between "ADDRESS TSO/MVS/ISREDIT/ISPEXEC/whatever-else".
Cheers, CP
