z/OS ISPF Edit and Edit Macros
SC19-3621-00

The edit modes control how your edit session operates. To set these modes, use the associated primary commands. For example, if you are editing a COBOL program that is in uppercase and you want all your input to be converted to uppercase, set caps mode on by entering CAPS ON.

The list shown here summarizes the primary commands you use to display and change your edit profile. See Edit primary commands for a complete description and for the operands you can type with the commands.
PROFILE
Displays the current setting of each mode in this list and controls whether changes to these settings are saved.
AUTOLIST
Controls whether a copy of the saved data is automatically stored in the ISPF list data set.
AUTONUM
Controls whether lines of data are automatically renumbered when the data is saved.
AUTOSAVE
Controls whether data is saved when you enter END.
CAPS
Controls whether alphabetic characters are stored in uppercase when the data is saved.
HEX
Controls whether data is displayed in hexadecimal format.
HILITE
Controls the use of enhanced edit color.
IMACRO
Names an edit macro used at the start of the edit session.
NOTES
Controls whether tutorial notes are included in an Edit model.
NULLS
Controls whether blank spaces at the end of a line are written to the panel as blanks or nulls. The difference is that nulls allow you to insert data; blanks do not.
NUMBER
Controls the generation of sequence numbers in a data set.
PACK
Controls whether ISPF packs (compresses) the data when it is saved.
RECOVERY
Controls the recovery of an edit session following a system failure.
SETUNDO
Controls the method of saving changes for the UNDO command.
STATS
Controls whether statistics for a data set are generated.
TABS
Controls tab settings for aligning data.
