This page shows a list of some of our ISPF Edit macros that we want to make available.

Some of them will need tailoring to meet your own site requirements but we have placed comments in them to identify which lines need to be changed.

You may also require a copy of our prepped ISPF panels (for the CENTER Help Panel) which is available here. If you would like the source code to the panels please contact us directly and we will make them available to you.

As ever you are free to use this code but please read our disclaimers and copyright information.

A full TSO XMI file of all the code is available here.

If you prefer an IEBUPDTE version of the file, it is available here

In addition to these Edit Macros we have made available some of our Rexx Execs. These can be obtained from here

  This edit macro will create an alias in an FB format partitioned dataset.

A demonstration video is available on YouTube™ by clicking here.

  This edit macro will tidy up a source assembler program by capitalizing the assembler instructions, clearing out columns 73-80, changing all BAL's to BAS and changing EQU * to be DS 0H


  This edit macro will Center text on a line within a dataset. The help panel for this is distributed in the ISPPREP file.


  This will add a comment block for change activity log into a Rexx Exec (or any other member). It will use the Rexx comment format (ie /* */).

Please see the boiler plate for usage instructions.


  Clears extraneous numbers from columns 73-80 of a dataset member.


  Changes a data line (or lines) into comments.

It will autodetect the data type and make the comments accordingly.

It will work for, Assembler, COBOL, Rexx, CLIST and JCL.

You can comment an individual line by using a "q" in the line number area, or a block of lines using "qq" similar to how you do other block ISPF commands.


  Adds a copyright notice to a member either where there is an "A" line command, or where the cursor is


  Copies the member being edited into another dataset. This is useful as it copies the member as it existed when it was last saved or before it was edited.


  Lists the dataset attributes of the dataset that is currently being edited.


  This edit macro will make the required changes to the ISPPREPA panel to allow the dataset names used to be saved in the TSO users profile.

If you want to use different variable names other than INDSNAM or OUTDSNAM then you will need to ZAP ISPPREP.
