Please tell me how to write line command macros like 'c' for copy and 'a' for paste using REXX.

Also please explain me how to execute it in a step by step way. Sorry to ask so since I don't know much about REXX :oops:

best way to learn about rexx is find a few documents (links top of page) and read.

here is tso-e rexx reference: http://publibz.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr_OS390/BOOKS/IKJ4A370/COVER?SHELF=IKJ4BK80&DT=20060626210253

there are lots of examples in this document.

you will also need to read about edit macros : ISPZEM50

or goto the IBM Library Server Library: http://publibz.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr_OS390/library

and search for ISPF, and then pick and choose.

Sound advice from Dick the dinosaur.

There is no substitute for being able to try it for yourself and learning from your mistakes. Also search the internet and learn from code published by others.

Aaaaaaaah, if only the internet was available when I started to learn REXX :?

More relevant, I think is the editor manual. Google for SC34-4820-07 and read chapter 5 and 6.
