Hi,
I have a requirement, based on the users input, we need to delete some lines from a dataset. Is there any command in Clist/ ISPF to delete some lines from the given dataset.
Thanks in advance. |

there are many ways of doing it, depending on ...
how clear are the requirements
how to identify the lines to delete
what kind of user interface
the size of the dataset
the ISPF dialog might be simple if the arguments to be used for the task
can fit in one screen
then depending on the dataset size
1) edit in place ( after a backup )
2) submit a <sort> job to do it
but I would never use a clist, only REXX, REXX, REXX, ... |

You can define a scrollable area in a panel to get more than 24 lines on a screen. |

easy for the output, bit more complicated ( if not impossible ) for the input
( I am rather inclined for the impossible ) |

Actually, it is pretty easy. You can convert pretty much any standard panel with three additional lines. See the example.
| Code: |
)PANEL KEYLIST(ISPTEST,ISP)
)ATTR
` AREA(SCRL) EXTEND(ON)
~ TYPE(text) COLOR(blue) INTENS(high)
@ TYPE(text) COLOR(green) INTENS(high)
¢ TYPE(OUTPUT) COLOR(GREEN) INTENS(LOW)
# TYPE(input) COLOR(TURQ) INTENS(HIGH) hilite(uscore)
¬ TYPE(text) COLOR(TURQ) INTENS(HIGH)
? TYPE(TEXT) COLOR(WHITE) INTENS(HIGH) HILITE(USCORE)
)BODY EXPAND(//)
%Help +
~/-/+
~toolname/ /Application Fields / /
@Command ===>#ZCMD
`SAREA39
)AREA SAREA39
@Fill in the fields below.
@Field 1 . . . .#f1 +
@Field 2 . . . .#f2 +
@Field 3 . . . .#f3 +
@Field 9 . . . .#f9 + repeat lines
)END |
You can add more data lines to see the effect, or split screen to make the 'screen' smaller.
The three lines:
1. attribute for AREA(SCRL)
2. line with use of that attribute
3. )AREA tag. everything after that tag is scrollable. I think you can have at least 400 lines.
actually, I said 'screen' in my earlier post, but meant to describe the panel data, not the physical screen. |
