Hello,
It will probably help if you describe what you intend to accomplish. . .
How might your edit macro interact with File-aid? |

here is my requirement ...... A cobol program contains many copybooks. when i want to see the layout of a copybook inside a cobol program ......the macro should display the copybook like we see in FILA - 8 (view option) ....... so the macro should invoke File-Aid and display the layout of the copybook ......
I can able to invoke the file-aid View panel using the command ...... Address Tso "%F8" ..... it displays the panel ..... but i want to see the copybook layout ...... that i couldnt achieve till now ...... |

Below JCL gives you the copybook expanded in a file. Try using this in your rexx macro.
| Code: |
//STEP01 EXEC PGM=FILEAID,REGION=6M"
//STEPLIB DD DISP=SHR,DSN="File-aid load dsn""
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*"
//SYSLIST DD DSN=dataset to get list
//DD01 DD DSN="copybook library"
//SYSIN DD *"
$$DD01 RLPRINT MEMBER=copybook name
/*

| Is there any way other than invoking a JCL ....... becoz i have the copybook name and path from what i parse in the cobol program ...... and as i already have the tso command to invoke file-aid ..... i think there should be way to display the copybook from there itself ...... |

what You think is irrelevant...
what FILEAID think is...
look at the fileaid docs to see if You can trick fileaid into navigating the panel hierarchy from a command |
