Hi all,

Using ISREDIT macro, I just want to change the high level qualifier of a production dataset name to test name. I can do that as per below code

Code: ISREDIT C 'PROD#P' 'TEST#T' ALL

But how will I change all these occurances only for non excluded lines.
Basically I dont want to make a change for comments. So first i can exclude the comments using
Code: ISREDIT EXCLUDE "//*" 1 ALL

But how will I make a change only for non excluded lines.

Thanks
Chidam

It seems to me that the documentation (comments) would be wrong then.

Earlier I had put the REXX macro code as
Code: "ISREDIT" C 'PROD#P' 'TEST#T' "NX" ALL

But the correct one is as you had specified
Code: "ISREDIT C 'PROD#P' 'TEST#T' NX ALL"

This one is working..Cool..thanks superk

Hi all,

Is there any command to get the info from the line command region

For example, if I want to know how many lines got changed after executing the ISPF REXX macro (changing high level qualifier), I am thinking of reading the data on the left side of each impacted line(==CHG> ). Then take the occurances of it.
Could you please help me how to go for that OR is there any other logic to do that

Code: ISREDIT (CHGED) = CHANGE_COUNTS

Hi Robert,

Thanks for the command.

The above mentioned command will give the number of times the changes were put in the line.

If a single line has encountered changes for 5 times, this will give the number as 5. But I want to know how many lines got changed irrespective of the number of times, a line has undergone changes.

chidams78,
you have been mis-informed.

change_counts returns the
number of lines
that have been affected by the
last CHANGE command

I was looking for the number of lines changed.
But what i got in the change_counts variable is the number of times the lines had undergone changes. In the below example i got change_counts as 3 (3 times the single line got changed) instead of 1.

Eg: I had 20 lines in the PROC and my macro will change the prod qualifiers to test qualifiers for the datasets and its properties.

Before change
//SORTOUT DD DSN=PRD#PP.PRDFLE.FILE,DISP=(,CATLG,DELETE),

After change
//SORTOUT DD DSN=TST#TT.TESTFLE.AUG23,DISP=(,CATLG,DELETE),

PRD#PP is to be changed to TST#TT
PRDFLE --> TESTFLE
FILE --> AUG23

Plz help....
