You can try with TE in the prefix area (Text Entry). You might have to experiment with NUMBER OFF/UNNUM.

Also check for possible options in your emulator.

Hi Bill,

I have tried with the both option but i am facing the same issue

Well, with TE there is no prefix area, which is what I assume you mean by "command area", so I don't know how you'd overwrite it :-)

You don't mean it is pasting into the command line, do you?

WTF does this mean?

Hi bill,

it moves to the last line
//**********************************************************
EXEC PGM=IEFBR14 //DD1
you can see here the //dd1 is moved to the end

HI Dbz,

When i copy the content form the note pad and paste in the ispf(dataset)
it pasted in the line command area .......
when i use TE in command line now it moved to the last ...like i pasted the issue before

Well, I use TE with paste.

Sometimes it pickles it, so I either UNNUM or put NUMBER ON, depending.

At times it shuffles some characters to the left, but no biggie.

Have you looked at options in your emulator?

Have a look at this one.
