acevedo,

Could you please send me a manual for these ISREDIT commands(CURSOR etc)? I tried searching the same in the REXX forum but couldn't get :( .

Sorry that this post is not related to the topic.

When I run your code as a macro, I receive the correct values.
When I run it as a TSO command, I receive the LINE word.

So I guess that's what's happening to you.
1. You must be in EDIT or VIEW to run the macro.
2. Just type the macro name, without TSO before.

Does it work now ?

NB: LINE returns the line contents, LINENUM returns the line number.

Hi Marso,

Yes, u are correct, i am using the command "TSO EXEC 'pathname' " to execute the macro.

When i try giving only the 'pathname' in the view mode and edit mode, i am getting "INVALID COMMAND name".
Can you explain how the macro to be defined... do we need to set it anywhere in the Profile list to use the macro command

Thanks,
Mouli
