Re: XEDIT question
I don't think XCOL helps a lot to learn how to use/make XEDIT panels. Maybe my old SMARTX package is easier (a panel front-end for RTM/ESA), or, better, it has more features to use panels. Like the panel itself being a file that is XEDITed, so the panel can be longer han a screen, and PF8/PF7 can be used to scroll down/up. Addresses very closely Tom's basic goal (protect/unportect some field). It is based on an undocumented feature (the same that HELP uses): when a READ NOCHANGE TAG is active, XEDIT doesn't require SET RESERVED commands to cover all screen lines. No, with READ NOCHNAGE TAG, XEDIT will honor the control characters that are imbedded in the file that is displayed. With SMARTX, there is a file SMART COMMANDS with the imbedded "panel" data. SMART XEDIT is the macro that displays the panel, gets the user input, etc. Another tool I've got to make panels easy is my SELFS exec. It doesn't use XEDIT buth the CMS WINDOW & VSCREEN commands. SELFS is alos very well suited to make scrollable panels. The initial goal was to have an easy tool to select one or more lines from a list, hence the name SELFS, SELect FullScreen. SELFS has some demo tool to illustrate its capablities. And, at last there is my collegue's RxMessageBox (RXMB), what produces nicely looking popup boxes, also based on CMS WINDOW & VSCREEN commands I'll send those. 2011/4/7 David Boyes > Have a look at XCOL from the vm download library.

Mark, C/$/"CP QUERY DASD $"/* > Alas, testing revealed that the trailing quote doesn't get inserted. How > come? > Your trailing doublequote got truncated but XEDIT remained silent, right? That's one tiny quirk you've got to remember (or it gets etched into your mind anyway) when using the arbchar. Since your first $ is not followed by anything, it represents the whole line including all the trailing blanks up to zone2 column. If you have "SET ZONE 1 *" and you're making the line longer with your change, the trailing doublequote in your example will get truncated but XEDIT will *not* tell you that. Also, the line will *not* spill even if SPILL is ON. There may be a reason why the designer decided to do it this way, but I cannot think of one. To drop the first word and surround the result with doublequotes by using only CHANGE command, you'd have to use at least two, eg: c/$ /"CP QUERY DASD /* c/ /"/* 1 4 -or- c/DASD $ /DASD $"/* Ivica Brodaric BNZ

Re: Xedit question
For this question, a CHANGE is indeed quickly done. But, there's one of the best XEDIT add-ons: - the unmissable the XCOL package: http://www.vm.ibm.com/download/packages/descript.cgi?XCOL Just like XEDIT's prefix commands A, M, F, D, DD etc, that work on lines, XCOL gives you similar commands to work on columns: when you start XCOL, you get a ??? line on which you type these "col" commands So, here after you enter COL * (the * indicates COL works till end-of-file), you get this 09 B32D70 10 B32D80 11 B32D81 12 B32D82 13 B32D83 let's first insert Q DA: ??i Q DA (we use the Insert commad, to insert a string right after where you enter the I) 09 B32D70 10 B32D80 11 B32D81 12 B32D82 13 B32D83 The result 09 Q DA B32D70 10 Q DA B32D80 11 Q DA B32D81 12 Q DA B32D82 13 Q DA B32D83 To delete the numbers. One could enter D3 in columns 1 of the line, but even easier: enter D's on all columns to remove ddd 09 Q DA B32D70 10 Q DA B32D80 11 Q DA B32D81 12 Q DA B32D82 13 Q DA B32D83 XCOL provides many commands, there is even a command that allows you to re-align data that no longer are placed in a fixed column. No, I didn't write it (except of the Wordflow sub-command). 2011/2/21 Michael Donovan > There's always the XEDIT "columnar" commands.

XEDIT question
Hello, There is a command or set of XEDIT commands that I used to do under XEDIT that would allow me to view a 80+ column file without a line wrapping int o the next line. I have forgotten what the command or commands are to stop the wrapping. I'm sure someone out there knows what that command or series of commands are to make the wrapping stop so that I can read the file without having to adjust for wrapping. Thanks, Steve.
Re: XEDIT Question
The SET NULLS ON tells XEDIT to not translate null characters to blanks. It does not affect the showing of unwanted trailing blanks when you have 'verify h n *' in effect. In fact, xedit pads all records to the specified LRECL with blanks when it displays the file; it does not stop at the longest record's length.

Re: XEDIT Question

It's not XEDIT but you can use BROWSE and SET HEX CHAR

This won't help you in XEDIT, but in CMS you can use TYPE with HEX option. You can limit the output by columns and records. Ivica
