What is an edit profile?

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

An edit profile controls your edit session through modes and temporary lines. These modes and lines convert data to uppercase (caps mode), automatically renumber lines of data (autonum mode), or specify the left and right boundaries used by other commands (=BNDS> line).

The library type (the last of the data set name qualifiers), record format (fixed or variable), or the record length can implicitly specify an edit profile. You can choose an edit profile in three ways:
  • Issue the PROFILE command with a profile name as parameter
  • Fill in the Profile field on the Edit Entry panel
  • Supply a PROFILE keyword and name when calling the EDIT service, such as: 
    ISPEXEC EDIT PROFILE(name) ...
