Maybe press the "Insert" key on your PC keyboard to overtype instead of inserting characters? Or a combination of insert-on and insert-off typing?
Logically it shouldn’t be any different than inserting text in a regular document, should it? Unless VS has a really funky text editor . . . But first a more general question: Why in the world are you still using sequence numbers in 73-80? Use ISPF EDIT "UNNUM" command as the first thing you do for any mainframe code, get rid of those relics of IEBUPDTE ASAP. I haven't had any use or need for sequence numbers in 73-80 on an MVS or derivative OS in over 3 decades. VM/CMS is a different animal though, I will admit. They are still useful there for source maintenance. Peter -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU> On Behalf Of Support, DUNNIT SYSTEMS LTD.

Installed it, plus Dan Kelosky's IBM-Assembler extension. Intention is to edit source when offline from z/OS. With VS, is there a way to insert text on an existing source line without the line sequence number in columns 73-80 being shifted to the right? Any other VS beginner tips someone has will be greatly appreciated. Thanks. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This message and any attachments are intended only for the use of the addressee and may contain information that is privileged and confidential.
