Hi all,
I am trying to edit a dataset, I made HEX ON and at certain places i am not able to edit the dataset.
| Code: |
{ -\{ \{ \ \
EC06EC00EC00E000000000000E
F0100010001000000000000000 |
The above is a sample piece of data in my physical sequential dataset. When I try to delete in the empty areas, ISPF is not allowing me to do this. Is there a something i have to set up to do this.
Please let me know
Thanks |

Hello Ram,
Are you calling the lines with "nothing" in the character area and hex zeros below them the "empty" areas?
If yes, they are not really "empty" - those bytes contain x'00'.
If no please clarify.
Either way, please explain how you "try to delete" them. |

To add to my previous reply:
If you are EDITing with HEX ON, you can make changes to the 2 lines of hex and the change will be reflected in the character line. |

I do recall editing and deleting while altering the length of variable records.
A pds should not be much different, but a load module PDS (recfm U) may be something else........
Exactly how are you 'deleting' the empty areas?
And what is the recfm of the dataset/PDS? |

| Yes you are correct, If i have to change the character value i can edit the two lines of HEX. But here I want to delete a particular character so that the rest of the data can move one character left. |

Hi Ram,
While in HEX ON, move the cursor to the character to be deleted and press the delete key. Then delete the 2 values in the hex lines for that character.
This will only work if your data line fits on the screen and there is no data to the right of the displayed data.
If you want to delete all of the data ion a particular position in all of the records, i'd suggest you use sort. |

I do recall slowly shifting the display right and 'dragging' the hole closed all the way to the end....grin..... |

If I get well your problem :
Play with BOUNDS placing the "less than" sign correctly then shift with (nn
