Ispf editor commands on dataset.

[binoy123]

Hi ,

I would like some one to help me with
writing a rexx program which will run
the following commands on a couple of dataset.

X all;F all '0' 1;F all '1' 1;
F all ' ' 1 ;F all '-*' 1
Del all X ;save

and if possible please suggest any reference.
Thanks

Write an ISPF MACRO to do it like this;
Address 'ISREDIT'
"MACRO"
"X ALL"
"F '0' 1 ALL"
"F '1' 1 ALL"
"F ' ' 1 ALL"
"F '-*' 1 ALL"
"DEL X ALL"
"END"

Then write a REXX to edit all the datasets / members and do this;
Address 'ISPEXEC' "Edit Dataset('"my.data.set"') Macro(MYMACRO)"

where MYMACRO is the macro created earlier.

Another option to calling the ISPF MACRO is when you are editing a dataset or PDS member. Just type the name of the macro on the command line and it will execute...
in the above example you would just type

MYMACRO

on the command line and away it goes.

Note that macro is saved in the same PDS as your REXX Exec's

Cheers
