Edit Script page

If you select to edit an executable program, the Edit Script page is displayed. Here, you can make changes to the program contents.

In the Edit Script page:
  • If the executable program resides in an external file, the location of the file is shown in the field Script file. Otherwise, if the executable program is inline (coded within the step), the field Script file is not displayed.
  • The contents of the executable program are displayed in edit mode.

In the work area, edit the program contents. To undo your changes and reset the program to the original contents, click Undo All Changes.

The program will run in a TSO/E address space. You can specify the region size for the address space, or accept the default value, if one is provided. The valid range of values is 50000 to 2096128 (kilobytes). If no region size is specified, the region size is 50000 kilobytes, by default. To display a description of region size, hover your cursor over the Information icon (Information icon).

To save the contents of the program, click Save. Your changes are written to an in-storage copy of the program; the actual program is not changed. On a subsequent page, you can run the program with your changes. Or, you can save a permanent copy of the modified program in a data set or UNIX file.
