Thanks Rob, the top of my rexx is basically the same as your test and seemed to behave the same as mine. But your suggestion prodded me in the right direction to an explanation of whats going on. What I discovered, is in the PFKey settings used in SDSF EDIT, 'ISF Keylist ISFEDKEY' I had the PFkeys set to:
PF22 . . ;CA E PF23 . . ;CA V Once I removed the ';' from the beginning of the command all is well and working correctly. I thought at one time, the prefix ';' was needed on a pfkey to simulate the command preserving the cursor position, but apparently that isn't needed any more. Seems like it was initially needed for the QW clist to allow point and shoot at message numbers. Further, I don't find any reference to the prefix ';' in ISPF User's Guide Vol II. The only special characters shown there are ':' and '>'. Could this have changed sometime in the last (cough cough) years?
