I noticed that if I run a command such as
Quote:

change FRED BERT all

in a file, I see the string ==CHG> in the prefix area for each changed line.

I'm running an edit macro that performs a find, then change on individual lines where the before/after strings vary through the macro.
I was wondering if there is a way of creating the ==CHG> string in the prefix area via an edit command?
I know I can use the LINE_BEFORE command, but then the results look something like this
Quote:

==MSG> LINE CHANGED
001260 MOVE OBD IN HFADA1A-REC TO W-DATUM.

(not what I'm after since there will be hundreds of changes in the code, and the user won't be able to see the wood for the trees, IMO, compared to the equivalent results for change FRED BERT all)

misi01,

How about doing a dummy change in View mode?

That won't work since I need to actually change the code.
I can see the thinking behind the idea of marking the prefix area for a "change ..... ALL" (in case you made changes that weren't intended).
The docs indicate the following is valid
Quote:

(varname)-- = --LINE_STATUS--+-linenum-+

so based on most EDIT commands, I assumed something like the following might work
Quote:

"LINE_STATUS .zcsr = "varname

where varchar was defined as a 32 byte string.
Unfortunately, I got RC = 20, so I'm guessing it's simply not allowed.
