Data set list utility and initial macro

[Lee Jenkins]

First time post.

Need to find out how to remove an initial macro from
option 3.4 (data set list utility). The menu showed up once to set it,
but I can not get back to it to remove it.

Thanks for your time.

When a data set list is displayed,
1) select the drop down option OPTIONS then
2) select item 1 (DSLIST options)
3) place a '/' next to "Display Edit/View entry panel"

Then next time you edit or view something, that panel displays were you
may change or remove the initial macro.

OR
You can simply enter DSLSET to get the above.

It is all in HELP.

Everything Bill said PLUS,

1) At Enhanced Member List (long line command and Prompt column)
2) Select a member for edit ("E") and place a slash ("/") in Prompt column
3) In entry panel pop-up, space over erroneously entered "Initial Edit
Macro"

Best way to proceed: Always keep the "Display Edit/View entry panel" turned
off (as Bill explained - Options drop-down or DSLSET command). Use the
Prompt column in the Enhanced Member list to see the "Edit/View entry panel"
if you really need to see it.

This technique works regardless of how the "Display Edit/View entry panel"
option is set - ON or OFF.

Lee,

I see that you have already received info on how to do it but I found the 3.4 way very hard to remember since the need is infrequent at our site. I felt I wanted something that was easy to remember so I wrote a little rexx pgm started at our site by the command IMACOFF which I put in our site command table (there is also now an IMACON here...). Will enclose code at the bottom.

Rgds,

* DESCRIPTION: *
* THIS REXX program is used as a CONVENIENT way to inactivate *
* an initial edit macro that is sometimes set inadvertently *
* by some users. It is much easier to use than other methods, *
* like using option 7.3, locating ZDAEMAC, and then blanking it.*
* Not hard to do, but harder to remember how to..... *

If ZDAEMAC = '' then do
ZEDLMSG = 'You do not have any initial edit macro set'
"SETMSG MSG(ISRZ001)"
end
Else do
ZEDLMSG = 'You had initial edit macro' ZDAEMAC 'set. ',
'The initial edit macro variable is now',
'blanked, i.e. turned off.'
"SETMSG MSG(ISRZ000)"
ZDAEMAC = ''
"VPUT (ZDAEMAC) PROFILE"

[Ryerse, Robin]

Since ZDAEMAC is a profile variable, I would suggest including the value of ZAPPLID in the messages. Although it would be meaningless to some users, anyone developing/supporting a dialog (with its own applid) would find it useful.

[Henrik Salminen]

Thanks, that is a very good suggestion and I implemented it immediately! Another thing I did was to merge the two commands (rexx pgms) so that the command without a parameter turns ie-macro off. Any specified parameter turns the ie-macro with that name 'on'.

Thanks for the help, it worked and we were able to clear
the edit macro. The REXX code was cool, thanks again.
