Balamin,
What exactly do you mean by editing? Tell us your requirement and may be we can help. You can run a sort or run rexx exec in batch to get the desired results.

The Edit & Edit Macros manual describes the limitations of Edit.
| Code: |
Maximum initial storage allowed for Edit and View
The maximum amount of storage that edit and view use when
initially loading the data into the edit or view session. This
number is in kilobytes and is rounded to the nearest 128 KB
value. If you set a limit on the initial amount of storage
allowed, and a session requires more than that amount, the data
is shown in BROWSE mode instead of edit or view.
A value of zero indicates that the edit session should not
impose any limits on initial storage used. If this value is zero
and there is not enough storage to load the data, a program
error can result.
|
The panel where this value is set is under the Edit_Settings menu of an Edit session.
| Code: |
Edit and View Settings
Command ===>
More: +
Settings for current and future Edit and View sessions:
User session initial macro . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Maximum initial storage allowed for Edit and View . . 0
Target line for Find/Change/Exclude string . . . . . . 2
Enter "/" to select option
Always position Find/Change/Exclude string to target line
Remove action bars in ISPF edit and view panels
Force ISRE776 if RCHANGE passed arguments
CUT default . . 2 1. Append PASTE default . . 2 1. Delete
2. Replace 2. Keep
Settings for future sessions. Select Apply Setting Immediately for the
setting to affect the current session as well.
Enter "/" to select option
Confirm Cancel/Move/Replace Apply Setting Immediately
Preserve VB record length Apply Setting Immediately
|
If you hit PF1 with your cursor in the Maximum initial storage allowed for Edit and View field you will get more help:
| Code: |
Help for Maximum initial storage allowed for Edit
The maximum number of kilobytes of storage that the editor
can use when initially reading in data. If the initial read
of the data requires more storage than this value, browse
will be substituted instead.
The amount of storage that the editor uses to hold records
is at least
(Number of records * (40 + record length))
To allow edit to use as much storage as is available, set
the value to 0.
The default is 0. Because the editor gets storage in 128Kb
blocks, if this number is greater than zero, it will be
adjusted to a minimum of 128 or rounded down to the nearest
128.
|
If it is already set to zero then you are probably out of luck. Increasing your TSO region size might help. If not, then maybe by increasing this figure you can overcome your problem, however, really BIG files are better off being edited with a program like File-Aid or using SORT.

karavi2000,
What version of ISPF are you using? To find the ISPF version you are using
place your cursor on the STATUS field on the ISPF main menu. (at the top) and press ENTER.
This will give you a drop down list as follows
| Code: |
1. Session
2. Function keys
3. Calendar
4. User status
5. User point and shoot
6. None
|
Choose option 1(session) and press enter
Now you will see something like this on the right side
| Code: |
User ID . : your tid
Time. . . : 09:48
Terminal. : 3278
Screen. . : 1
Language. : ENGLISH
Appl ID . : ISR
TSO logon : TSOUSER
TSO prefix: your TID
System ID : D10A
MVS acct. : 0,1722
Release . : ISPF 5.2

Hi Maton_Man,
The "Maximum initial storage allowed for Edit and View" is already set to ZERO in my case. But I am able to edit this value and have changed it to 99999(this got changed automatically to 99968 --- multiple of 128). Now am I going to get more storage space or was zero better(it would automatically take the highest value) ???

As quoted earlier:

To allow edit to use as much storage as is available, set
the value to 0.
