Re: ISPF edit macro behaivor in SDSF
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?

Re: ISPF edit macro behaivor in SDSF
Dana I would double-check your REXX exec code - perhaps paste to the forum? "SE" and "SJ" use ISPF "EDIF" services - pretty much all SDSF does is supply the data for the "get first/next" record request from EDIF. I have just executed the following simple REXX EDIT macro in SDSF SJ and SE in 2.2 and 2.3 and the results were as expected: address ISREDIT "MACRO" address ISREDIT "(CURROW CURCOL) = CURSOR " address ISREDIT "(CURLINE) = LINE "CURROW say currow say curline Rob Scott Rocket Software. -Original Message- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List On Behalf Of Dana Mitchell Sent: Friday, March 29, 2019 1:15 PM To: IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU Subject: ISPF edit macro behaivor in SDSF I have an edit macro that I've used in one form or another for many years, it's my version of the point and shoot edit.

ISPF edit macro behaivor in SDSF
I have an edit macro that I've used in one form or another for many years, it's my version of the point and shoot edit. Place the cursor on a dataset name in a jcl member for instance, hit the PFK set to ';CA' and you are taken to edit of that dataset. It discerns the dataset name by doing a ISREDIT "(lne,col) = CURSOR" and parsing out the dataset name you are pointing at. I'm not sure when I first noticed it, but it appears to not operate correctly in SDSF (z/OS 2.2 currently) edit of JCL or output from the SJ or SE line command.
