XF edit macro

The XF (exclude find) macro is useful in cases where you want to EXCLUDE certain parameters when editing PARMGEN’s configuration profiles. For example, you can EXCLUDE all parameters for started tasks, then FIND all occurrences of these parameters so you can quickly issue a CHANGE ALL command.

IBM provides an XF macro with PARMGEN for your use. The macro comprises the following commands:

ISREDIT MACRO (FARG)
ISREDIT EXCLUDE ALL
ISREDIT F &FARG ALL

Example

Do an EXCLUDE FIND of all *_STC parameters in the WCONFIG(%RTE_NAME%) PARMGEN runtime environment profile.
