HI,
I am trying to learn how to write macros and I got the following example from IBM Book manager. But could any one help me on how to execute this macro? I mean where should I keep this macro so that it can be invoked by typing 'ISREDIT' in the command line?
ISREDIT MACRO
ISREDIT RESET EXCLUDED /* Ensure no lines are excluded */
ISREDIT EXCLUDE ALL '-' 1 /* Exclude lines with '-' in col1*/
ISREDIT FIND FIRST '-' 1 /* Show the first such line */
ISREDIT DELETE ALL EXCLUDED /* Delete all lines left excluded*/

Thanks in advance
JA

A PDS member containing an ISPF EDIT macro should reside in a library that is concatenated to the SYSPROC DD.

I think I wont be having access to the SYSPROC Libs. Is there any alternatives?
Thanks

Jamylady,

Type DDLIST at the command prompt. This will bring up all the allocations for your user-id. Now type SAVE at the command prompt, which will create a clist of all the allocations. Now you can edit this CLIST to include your PDS with edit macros for the SYSUPROC.

Now execuete this clist and you should be able to execuete your edit macros.

Hope this helps...

Cheers
