I've tried to search thru various texts, but I can't find this. What exactly does an exclamation mark mean at the start of a command?
Specifically, this is when executing a program (edit macro) when in an ISPF edit. What is this a shortcut for? |

The exclamation mark indicates that the macro is a compiled program rather than a rexx exec or a clist, so the processor will not bother to search SYSPROC or SYSEXEC for the macro.
