Yes Kris you make some very good arguments, and I don't disagree with the flexibility of XEDIT and the macros.. But you don't always need that overhead and complexity. I guess it's just a matter of preference, or whatever the situation dictates.

Sometimes it is a matter of taste too. Please, give me the full XEDIT power that is available in RDRLIST, FILELIST and alike. FULIST doesn't have that at all. For example. FILELIST ALL /EXEC/ | /REXX/ | /XEDIT/ give me a list with most -if not all- files written in REXX Then I might say for example enter "EXECUTE * SENDFILE / somewhere" in the command-line. As FILELIST & RDRLIST are xedit, you can extend their function by coding an XEDIT macro. Examples - my COMPMDSK XEDIT macro compare the contents of the FILELIST you have open with another filelist or fmode - in RDRLIST, I've got PF14 set to a macro that issues a LISTFILE to seach where that given RDR file already exists, so I can decide on which minidisk to receive it. KRIS RDRLIST A0 V 164 Trunc=164 Size=17 Line=10 Col=1 Alt=8 Cmd Filename Filetype Class User at Node Hold Records Date * PROFILE EXEC CON T KRIS VMLINUX5 NONE 220 2008-10-08 * PROFILE EXEC A1 V 45 11 1 2008-10-06 * PROFILE EXEC D1 V 77 119 1 1998-07-17 Such things are impossible in closed tools like FLIST/FULIST, unless assembler is your second speak. 2008/10/9 Huegel, Thomas < [EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > Well I guess I can forget about them then..
