I've always thought that ISPF EDIT could only handle up to 255! I think that restriction was lifted around 1990...possibly earlier. Then, I'm wrong again! I've had problems with EDIT macros, but then I went away. So, I've no idea what the restrictions are, anymore. - Too busy driving to stop

I have a file of variable length records DCB=(DSORG=PS,RECFM=VB,LRECL=1504,BLKSIZE=27998) The records are already a variety of different lengths. Many, but not all of these records have trailing blanks (x'40') on the end. I would like to remove those trailing blanks. I suspect that ICETOOL
