Go to Line 66 and type DD

Then Come to Line no 70 to type DD.

Now Press Enter.

The question here is to delete columns (and not the lines)!

Please try these command in order listed under ISPF/PDF editor and confirm with a reply.

Command ===> reset
Command ===> bounds 66 70
Command ===> change p'^' x'40' ALL
Command ===> reset c

or

Command ===> reset
Command ===> change p'^' x'40' 66 70 ALL
Command ===> reset c

This will change all character (p'^') in columns 66 through 70 to a blank (x'40') in ALL lines. It will leave other colums as is and will not delete lines.
