Re: Annoying ISPF prob

Very strange. What I have done in the past is deleted all members in my
ISPF profile dataset to reset everything. A bit extreme. Another
possibility, which may not be possible. is to do a DDLIST command (on
any screen). Find the SYSPROC or SYSEXEC DD statement and see if there
is a dataset on it which you can update. If there is, create a member
called M and make it:

/* REXX */
ISREDIT MACRO


And that's it. A "do nothing" ISPF EDIT macro called M. This will at
least shut ISPF up.

Thanks, I tried the methods but nothing worked.

John - Edit settings .. there was no M and Profile 20 said IMACRO NONE.
Lizette - the E /(##xx) gave me 'Invalid line command'.
How might I subscribe to bit.listserv.ispf-l
cheers

You probably, somehow, set M as an "initial macro". Bring up a member in
edit as you are now doing. Look up at the top row. See the
"Edit_Settings", which is 3rd from the left? Place your cursor on that
and press ENTER. This brings up a dialog box. The first field in that is
labelled "User session initial macro". It __should__ have an M in it.
Blank that field out. PF3 out of the dialog. You should no longer get
those messages when you do an E on a member.

Another possibility is that your edit profile has an IMACRO set. Edit a
member and enter "IMACRO NONE" on the command line (without the "
marks). You can tell this from the command: "PROFILE 20" to see if there
is an IMACRO in the edit profile.

this problem. I didn't consciously cause it.

.. am wanting to edit a pgm in CBL.PGMS (prob is also true for

cmnd line ..
