So, contrary to the doc, it isn't really a LINEDEL. >From the HELP: .... The first is the logical character-delete symbol (@) that allows deletion of one or more of the previous characters entered. The second is the logical-line delete symbol (Ý) that deletes the entire previous physical line. Most often, the default values for these two symbols are defined for each virtual machine at system generation. When you use the CP TERMINAL command to redefine the CHARDEL and LINEDEL characters, the redefinitions have no effect on DDR line editing. DDR continues to recognize the at sign (@) and the cent sign (Ý) as valid CHARDEL and LINEDEL symbols, respectively. With CP you can enter ignore this Ý Q time If I ran the zoo, I would propose that DDR - no longer check for @ - continue to obey Ý as it does today. - add an actual comment capability Alan Altmark z/VM Development IBM Endicott
