Hi ,

Thanks for the reply . I tested the above macro but the problem is that whenever its executing the ADDRESS ISPEXEC "EDIT DATASET ('"PDS"("LIBMEM.I")') MACRO ("MAC")" line , Macro was opening the member in edit mode , if you press F3 then only its picking the second member. If we have 1 or 2 members this would be ok but it we want to execute on the 50 to 100 members this way is not ok ,Is in it??.

So what I want is , If we execute the macro it should perform that on all the member and come out.

please send me the reply asap.

Awaiting for reply,
A.Sukumar.

Make sure that your macro have "ADDRESS ISREDIT 'END'" as the last edit command.

Hi I checked with the above instruction which you had mentioned But still its giving the same problem. Check my macro below.

I really don't get what you do. I gave you a REXX exec, wich runs on a PDS, and invoke the macro TEMPMAC agains each member.

You turned my REXX exec into edit macro....

Guys,

Where do I need to write either TEMPMAC or DELL?

because I try to execute your code (both the above), I get an error message command TEMPMAC (or DELL) not found.

Edit Macro written in REXX should be saved in your SYSEXEC library.
