Set up a special edit profile named ZDEFAULT (enter ZDEFAULT as the profile name on the Edit Entry Panel). The ZDEFAULT profile is the one used for the initial settings whenever a new edit profile is generated, regardless of the RECFM and LRECL values. For example, if you do not have an ASM profile and you edit an ASM data set, an ASM profile is generated using ZDEFAULT for the initial settings. If no ZDEFAULT profile exists, one is automatically generated with settings obtained from the ISPF Configuration Table. This list shows an example:

Modes set on:

CAPS STATS NULLS NUMBER AUTOSAVE NOTE

Modes set off:

RECOVERY HEX TABS AUTONUM AUTOLIST PACK

Profile set to:

UNLOCK

IMACRO set to:

NONE

SETUNDO set to:

STG

HILITE set to:

DEFAULT

The number of profiles you can establish also is described in the configuration table. See Displaying or defining an edit profile for more details. When you finish, exit ISPF. Your entire set of edit profiles is saved in your profile library (referenced by ddname ISPPROF) as the ISREDIT member.
