TSO Editor

TSO Editor
When an edit session opened for an existing dataset TSO copies the dataset into the Users work space When the edit session is closed the edited version of the dataset is : Written

back to the library containing the dataset or Used to overwrite the old copy of the sequential dataset

Note when editing library members the old versions are not overwritten or deleted at the end of the edit session (nor can they be seen) - this can result in the library filling up and a B37 return code when you try to save the new version of an edited member To free the space compress the dataset - this will remove all the old versions of edited members

TSO Editor (Profile)

The edit profile captures the edit options last in effect for the dataset type (or language type in Panvalet) The current profile settings can be seen by typing PROFILE (or just PROF) on the COMMAND line Some of the options captured in the profile are : RECOVERY

ON/OFF

Determines whether the UNDO command will function during an edit session and also enables the system to recover your edit up to the last interaction (i.e. use of a PF key or the ENTER key) in the event of a system crash or session timeout

NUMBER

ON/OFF

COPY
This

command is used to copy data from an external dataset into the current dataset You must specify the location at which the external data is to be inserted by either :Using the AFTER or BEFORE parameters with a label (see Line Commands for how to define labels) or Using the A (after) or B (before) line commands

COPY

or COPY AFTER .S or COPY BEFORE .S

If no dataset is specified as part of the COPY command a panel is displayed where you can enter the details of the dataset to be copied The dataset can be either : A member in the same library A member in another library (fully qualified and

enclosed in quotes if its not your library) A sequential dataset (fully qualified and enclosed in quotes if its not your dataset)

TSO Editor (Primary Cmds)

COPY

XXXX or COPY XXXX AFTER .S or COPY XXXX BEFORE .S

If XXXX is the name of a member in the same library as the dataset being edited the entire contents of member XXXX are copied at the indicated point If XXXX is a sequential dataset owned by you it will be copied at the indicated point If XXXX is a library name a Member Selection List panel will be displayed listing all the members in the library - typing S by a desired member name and pressing the ENTER key will cause the selected member to be copied at the indicated point The point at which the file should be copied is indicated by the A or B line command or by the .S label

TSO Editor (Primary Cmds)

COPY

This will copy lines 10 to 100 from the source dataset into the target dataset (i.e. the file currently being edited) The source dataset is a member in the same library as the target dataset Note that if a number range is specified the source dataset name must be enclosed in brackets even if it is in the same library as the target dataset The screen displayed when no member name is specified will also have a place for entering the line number range to be copied (if required)

TSO Editor (Primary Cmds)

COPY

Libname 10 100 or COPY Libname 10 100 AFTER .S or COPY Libname 10 100 BEFORE .S

Here a library name but no member name has been specified This will result in the display of the display of a Member Selection List panel Selection of a member by entering S against the name and pressing the ENTER key will result in lines 10 100 of that member being copied into the target dataset

TSO Editor (Primary Cmds)

TSO Editor (Primary Cmds)

TSO Editor (Primary Cmds)

Specify the dataset or library name here

TSO Editor (Primary Cmds)

You can specify up to four second level library name qualifiers here - the four libraries will be searched in the sequence they are specified for the given member name

TSO Editor (Primary Cmds)

The member name can be left blank or you can enter a full member name or a partial member name followed by an *

TSO Editor (Primary Cmds)

A blank member name will result in the display of a Member Selection List panel if the 3 top level qualifiers given (i.e. Project/Group/Type ) identify a library

TSO Editor (Primary Cmds)

A partial member name will also result in the display of a Member Selection List panel

TSO Editor (Primary Cmds)

Or you can specify the dataset name here - dont forget if the dataset is not yours it must be fully qualified and enclosed in inverted commas - the member name must be enclosed in brackets after the library name

TSO Editor (Primary Cmds)

You only need to give an entry here if the dataset is not catalogued

TSO Editor (Primary Cmds)

Enter the password here if the dataset is password protected

TSO Editor (Primary Cmds)

SUBMIT (or SUB)
Used

to submit the contents of the dataset for processing as a background job - to do this it invokes the TSO SUBMIT command An data beyond the 80th character is ignored An lines less than 80 characters in length are padded with spaces The normally system assumes that the first line of the dataset contains the identifying information for the job (i.e. the JOB card) You can supply the identity of two labels as the start and end points of the data to be submitted for background processing (e.g. SUBMIT .S .E where .S is the start label and .E is the end label)

TSO Editor (Primary Cmds)

UNDO
Reverses

the most recent changes you have made back to when a PF key or the ENTER key was last pressed
Generally this means that only the last edit can be rolled back - only if several edit commands were chained together can more than one edit command be rolled back

Only

works if the RECOVERY profile parameter has been set to ON or SETUNDO STD or SETUNDO REC commands have been issued The UNDO must be the only command entered on the command line
