Does anyone know where the ISPF edit command ZFNOTE is documented? I have searched the ISPF manuals, googled - can find zip. I only learned of this seeing it done in another edit macro.

example:

ZFNOTE = "LINE_BEFORE .ZFIRST = NOTELINE"
ZFNOTE "'LABEL .A = JES2 JOBLOG'"
ZFNOTE "'LABEL .B = JCL IMAGES'"
ZFNOTE "'LABEL .C = SYSTEM MESSAGES'"
ZFNOTE "'LABEL .D = ALL SYSOUT YOU WRITE TO PLOG'"
ZFNOTE "' '"

I realize that. but ZFNOTE seems to be a way to insert NOTES into a file without a model. You can add these commands in any edit macro.

The problem is they work in the first half of my edit macro, then they are no longer recognized in the last ZNOTES.. Says ZNOTE is not a command.. even though this works previously in the same macro.

I tried adding an address ISREDIT 'ZFNOTE ...' - it does nothing.

so, I was trying to find some information on the ZFNOTE command itself - and can find no documentation on it. so i was wondering if someone else knew where the ZNOTE command is documented.

ah.. I see what you are saying. this is the same as this edit macro command:

ISREDIT LINE_BEFORE

which you can use to create a noteline.

hmm.. I wonder if ZFNOTE does anything more than this.

However, since the ISREDIT Line_before command is documented, I will switch to that.

I would assume it a local command. Try to find ZNOTE via ISRDDN.

The first line assigns the text to an internal variable.
Second and subsequent lines are interpreted with the contents of the variable prefixing the second half. There is no ZFNOTE command
e.g. the second line is interpreted as

Code:

"LINE_BEFORE .ZFIRST = NOTELINE 'LABEL .A = JES2 JOBLOG'"
