Hi,
This is a requirement in rexx macro, where the user goes in edit mode and expand the copybooks and include statements and give PF3 to exit.
Req-1: Here expanded copybooks should not get saved along with the changes made to the code, once the user press PF3.
Req-2: If the user gives cancel in edit mode, none of the changes done to the program saves. ( Note: lines of code too!)
Could somebody suggest the macro command to save only the user's changes and not the expanded copybook lines.
Add-Info: I am tagging the expanded copybooks with tags. |

| You will need to code the program to do this yourself in all likelyhood. |

Assuming the expand is done through an editor macro,
and assuming PF3 is set to EXIT...
Add some DEFINE macro statements to your expand editor macro:
| Code: |
Address ISREDIT "DEFINE exit ALIAS myprog"
Address ISREDIT "DEFINE save ALIAS myprog" |
When the user presses F3, the ISPF editor will invoke your editor macro, 'myprog'.
'myprog' is another editor macro that scans the entire file and removes the expanded copybook statements. After removing the unwanted lines, 'myprog' should issue:
| Code: |
Address ISREDIT "BUILTIN exit"
or
Address ISREDIT "BUILTIN save"
|

| Expand the copybooks using infoline command. This way user changes only will be retained. |

Thank you enrico,Pedro and Ranjithkumar =>
With Msgline/Infolines i will not be able to use find command to search the copybook variables.
Need a datalines to do that. If i use datalines, am unable to delete all the newly tagged lines  |

Did you try the DEFINE macro instruction as I described earlier? |

Hi Pedro,
Sorry for the delayed reply.
I have defined the macro at the top of my expand macro as
| Code: |
ADDRESS ISREDIT
"MACRO"
ADDRESS ISREDIT "DEFINE EXIT ALIAS CLRCOP"
ADDRESS ISREDIT "DEFINE SAVE ALIAS CLRCOP"
|
A good news is the CLRCOP is working the required function,when executed seperately after my macro's execution.
| Code: |
/*REXX*/
ADDRESS ISPEXEC
"ISREDIT MACRO"
ADDRESS ISREDIT "X ALL 'XCOPY' 2 6"
ADDRESS ISREDIT "DELETE ALL X"
ADDRESS ISREDIT "BUILTIN SAVE"
|
Current Problem => I need to execute the CLRCOP macro when the user press F3. As of now am manually executing this macro.
This is my try to execute the macro from within the expand macro, when the user presses F3, which doesn't work either.
| Code: |
KEYPRES = .PFKEY
IF KEYPRES= "PF03"
THEN DO
ADDRESS ISPEXEC
"MACRO(CLRCOP)"
|
Kindly throw a light on how to execute this macro in the right way. |

Sorry, my memory was not accurate. Use END instead of EXIT:
| Code: |
ADDRESS ISREDIT "DEFINE END ALIAS CLRCOP" |
I do not understand this statement:

I do think I suggested that the F3 processing be executed from your expand macro. I think it would not be useful to do so. The user would never see the results of expand.
The DEFINE END ALIAS CLROP statement is merely setup for later execution. It tells the editor: "whenever the user enters END, run the CLROP command instead". That includes using PF3 or the user typing END in the primary command line and pressing Enter.
You may need two different macros: one for END and the other for SAVE. Perhaps you can check ZVERB to see which command was entered. |

You are welcome.
one more suggestion:
| Code: |
/*REXX*/
ADDRESS ISPEXEC
"ISREDIT MACRO"
ADDRESS ISREDIT "X ALL 'XCOPY' 2 6"
ADDRESS ISREDIT "DELETE ALL X"
ADDRESS ISREDIT "BUILTIN SAVE" |
You need to worry about the case where the user has already excluded some lines. |

Thank you Pedro for correctly point out,
The issue with excluded lines could be overcome with this.
| Code: |
/*REXX*/
ADDRESS ISPEXEC
"ISREDIT MACRO"
ADDRESS ISREDIT "RES"
ADDRESS ISREDIT "X ALL 'XCOPY' 2 6"
ADDRESS ISREDIT "DELETE ALL X"
ADDRESS ISREDIT "BUILTIN SAVE"
ADDRESS ISREDIT "CAN"

The user might manually type 'XCOPY' in column 2 on a line that was not expanded by the macro. Your cleanup would delete that line.
It may be unlikely, but it is not inconceivable. |
