When i open a PDS member ( it contains a program ), the first 6 columns are occupied by sequence numbers. I want to delete those sequence numbers. I know it can be done by using the keyword UNNUM.
But my problem is, as it is a program which is continously being changed ( as part of enhancements ), some tags are given at the 1-6 columns of the lines which has been changed.
I mean some of the lines in the program has some tags attached to it in columns 1-6 for identification.
So when i use UNNUM i lose these tags also, which i dont want to happen.
Is there any way by which i can delete only the sequence numbers and not the Tags?? |

William,
If there is an alphabet in any of the columns from 1-6, it wont be replaced by the command given above.
Only if all the positions are numbers, it will be replaced.
Just tried it out and found  |
