Using content assist with HLASM

You can use content assist to help you finish a line of High Level Assembler code in the z Systems® LPEX Editor. The High Level Assembler content assist is sensitive to your cursor placement in the source. Invoking content assist in the instruction area will provide you with completion proposals for your instruction along with any applicable templates you may have defined. Invoking content assist in the parameter area of your instruction, will provide you with appropriate proposals which include keyed parameter name, valid positional and keyed values, as well as symbols defined within your file.

1. The placement of the cursor in your code provides the context for the content assist to offer suggestions for completion. Place the cursor in a valid position on a line of code in the z Systems LPEX Editor, and then do one of the following actions to launch content assist:
   1. Press Ctrl+Spacebar.
   2. Select Edit > Content Assist from the menu bar.
   If your cursor is in a position where content assist is available, a pop-up list of available choices is displayed when you launch content assist. As you type the first one or two letters of the content, the list automatically refreshes with choices that match your input. Selecting a completion will display more information for that completion, if it is available.
2. Use the arrow keys or scroll bars to navigate the completion list.
3. To choose a completion from the list, do one of the following actions:
   1. Select the completion and press Enter.
   2. Double-click the completion.
