ISPF : Tip Of The Day

Gautam512 · Posted: Thu Dec 29, 2005 1:57 pm

Coments required for this TIP....

Try this one in View MODE first.......(Then u can use it )

1. View an element
2. Enter COLS in the line command area to have a ruler line appear.
3. Enter BNDS in the line command area. A blank line will appear.
4. On the blank line, position angle brackets < >in the columns to be affected. The affected portion will be that portion between the angle brackets, inclusive. I could find no way to affect a single column.
5. The following example shows how to comment out a portion of a paragraph.

1. EDIT XXXXX.XXXXX.XXXXX(PGM1)
2. Command ===>
3. =COLS> ----+----1----+----2----+----3----+----4----+----5----+--
4. =BNDS> <>
5. 000139
6. 000140 00133 A300-PROCESS-CEP-DST.
7. 000141 00134 READ IN-EXPLO INTO IN-HOLD
8. 000142 00135 AT END
9. 000143 00136 MOVE HIGH-VALUES TO IN-HOLD
10. 000144 00137 GO TO A300-PROCESS-CEP-DST-EXIT.
11. c00145 00138 *

17. oo0001 00144 A400-PROCESS-RECD60-EXIT.

This can be done from command line also.

For example "BNDS 10 30" sets the bounds as between 10 and 30. This can be reset by issuing "BNDS" again on the command line.

Hi Gau,

As Bonniem suggested, bnds 1 7 is a better choice. I've never tried bnds 7 7, but that may work too.

You can also use M instead of C. You'll get the same result. And you won't even have to worry about the * line you created.

Hi,
This seems to be a shop dependant.I tried it in my shp,but it's not working.

Thanks

Setting bounds is an ISPF primary command, so I dont think it is shop dependant.

Hi Kapil,

Try this instead of the bnds:

Enter .a at the 1st line of the pgraph.
Enter .b at the last line of the pgraph.
Enter c all ' ' '*' 7 .a .b on the cmd line.

Gives you the same result.

Hi,

Is it possible to use copy data from a dataset which has data in column 6 to column 12 to other dataset and paste it with a overlay in other dataset from column 6 to column 12 without any disruption to other columns data using BNDS and Overlay command lines.

I am able to do it within the same dataset by giving MM MM in the command line for the required rows and giving OO OO for the rows to be overlayed.

Thanks and Regards,
Pavan.[/code]
