I would double-check your REXX exec code - perhaps paste to the forum?

"SE" and "SJ" use ISPF "EDIF" services - pretty much all SDSF does is supply 
the data for the "get first/next" record request from EDIF.

I have just executed the following simple REXX EDIT macro in SDSF SJ and SE in 
2.2 and 2.3 and the results were as expected:

address ISREDIT "MACRO"
address ISREDIT "(CURROW CURCOL) = CURSOR "
address ISREDIT "(CURLINE) = LINE "CURROW
say currow
say curline

Subject: ISPF edit macro behaivor in SDSF

I have an edit macro that I've used in one form or another for many years,  
it's my version of the point and shoot edit.  Place the cursor on a dataset 
name in a jcl member for instance,  hit the PFK set to ';CA'   and you are 
taken to edit of that dataset.  It discerns the dataset name by doing a

ISREDIT "(lne,col) = CURSOR"

and parsing out the dataset name you are pointing at.  I'm not sure when I 
first noticed it,  but it appears to not operate correctly in SDSF (z/OS 2.2 
currently)  edit of JCL or output from the SJ or SE line command.  The row and 
column returned are of the first non-blank character of the next line,  someone 
pressed enter before invoking the macro, which usually with a JCL listing, just 
happens to be a '/'  so you end up with a 'z/OS UNIX Directory List'  of the 
root.  I don't find any mention of any restrictions on edit macros in the SDSF 
FM.  Anybody else tried this? is it pmr time?
