Where can I find information regarding TSO/Edit commands. I would like to know;
a. How to concatenate edit commands like c 'exec' 'exec.dll' ?
b. Exclude all lines with exec and change them to exec.dll.
c. How can I set my pf keys

I'm failry new to TSO/ISPF edit and any information or website that I can get the answer to the above questions will be appreciated.

First thing TSO EDIT and ISPF EDIT are two different things. My guess is that you probably only use ISPF edit. You can concatenate commands with seperating them with a semi-colon. e.g. x 'exec' ALL;c 'exec' 'exec.dll' X all . I think this will answer your second question as well. I'll let someone else answer the last, can't remember what the command is offhand.
Regarding obtaining information. Go to the home page and you'll see ISPF, there's a lot of information though.

Hi

Try the command 'KEYS' in ISPF.

Hi Luis,

You can string ISPF cmds as Mike shows. What I've found helpful is to cut and paste these command strings into a PDS with some comments about their use. Then you don't have to worry about running out of PF Key space. Just overlay what you don't need at the moment with a cmd string (or strings) that you do need.

Which brings up another point. You can use more than one PFKey to accomplish something a little more complicated, just hit the keys in sequence.

The trick to stringing commands is to know where your cursor is after each command.

There is a way to enter line commands on the cmd line, e.g. .a, .b., cc, dd, a, b, etc. You just preceed each of them with a ":", e.g :aa, :cc, etc. on the command line.

For example, if you wanted to delete all the lines between the line containing "xxx"
and the line containing "yyy" in the following file:

Hi Luis,
Did you try ISPF 'HELP' ? if not try it - type HELP or hit F1 key. You can get to know all about ISPF edit with examples.
