I'm not sure how to use <> in XEDIT to find all lines without a specific character string. I want to use the logical not prefix for the LOCATE and
ALL commands as specified in the z/VM 5.1 XEDIT COMMANDS AND MACRO REFERE NCE: ¬ NOT symbol (Locate something that is not the specified string.) It appears that this is controlled by the system I'm connecting to initially. If I find a system I where the not symbol works, I can use passthru and the function is preserved. Is the code page controlled by th e VM system or by the terminal emulator on my PC? Is there a way I can override it using my terminal emulator? Or is the code page controlled by the MVS concentrator I initially connect to using PCOMM? I appreciate the information so far. I think I'm getting closer to the solution.
