Hi,

I have created a MACRO which will create a copy of the copybook that is being used in the program.

Program Name - SAMPLE
Macro Name - MYREXX
Copybook Name - EMPLOYEE

MYREXX creates copy of the copybook EMPLOYEE.
I need to copy paste the contents of EMPLOYEE and the copy created into the program SAMPLE, using the MACRO.

Could somebody please tell how to do this using the COPY PASTE commands with the help of a MACRO?

Thanks in advance.

1) Please do NOT use all caps in the title, it is considered as shouting, and inappropriate.

2)Your requirement is not totally clear - do you really want to copy the originial copybook and your copy of a copybook into the program.

3)Where is the insert made ? position of cursor or fixed location.

Thanks for your reply.

Yes, i want to copy the contents of the original copybook and the copy into the program.

I need to make the inserts after line 33 and line 37 in the program.

Thanks.

As ISPF uses relative line numbers - always work from the bottom upwards to preserve the relative values for multiple inserts.
