Hello!
Sometime back I was checking the list of available options to modify my ISPF profile in my site and without taking backup or anticipating the consequences I seem to have screwed my settings!!.. Now the problem is, when I intend to insert a blank line into a member of a certain PDS it inserts a comment line i.e it fills /* for the entire file length. I have to erase it and proceed with my actual input. This happens only for a certain PDS and only for ME, though it's a globally accessible PDS.
Utterly stupid, I know. I have no idea how to reset the statistics for my profile. Can someone point out to me what might have gone wrong?
Thanks!! |

Hello,
Is the problem pds different from the others (i.e. pdse versus pds)?

What is "file length"? The line, the member, other?
Edit a member in the problem pds and post the profile. Edit a member in some other pds and post the profile. See if there are any differences in the profiles. |

As a matter of fact, I created the "working" PDS taking "problem" PDS as base. |

Just enter the command PROFILE och the command line and press enter
| Code: |
Command ===> profile Scroll ===> CSR
****** ***************************** Top of Data ******************************
=PROF> ....COBOL (FIXED - 80)....RECOVERY ON....NUMBER ON COB..................
=PROF> ....CAPS OFF....HEX OFF....NULLS ON STD....TABS OFF.....................
=PROF> ....AUTOSAVE ON....AUTONUM OFF....AUTOLIST OFF....STATS ON..............
=PROF> ....PROFILE UNLOCK....IMACRO NONE....PACK OFF....NOTE ON................
=PROF> ....HILITE COBOL CURSOR FIND............................................
=MASK> --****** This is the Mask which will be inserted as a new line ---- |
If there is a row saying =MASK> , just delete is by enetering a D on the line and press enter.
The MASK is a way of getting a new line with some data in it, but after using it, dont forget to remove it! |
