Is it possible to have the ISPF command line to apprear as two lines? I need use COMP command with a PDS name which is too long to accomodate in the default single command line space.
I also need to use some options like EXCLUDE etc so the avilable spaces is not enough.
Thanks
JA

Try using option 6 (' COMMAND - Enter TSO command or CLIST')

Compare command is not working in option 6 (ISPF command shell- Enter TSO or Workstation commands below:).
COMPARE command is invoked from the ISPF editor (EDIT/VIEW mode)
Thanks

There is no way to expand it. You can write an edit macro to do the commands since it can pass longer lines. It can be as simple as (not tested):

This looks useful, but I am not very good in REXX . I copied the same code and try to execute it. But seems like it is not doing anything. It just accept the string and that is it. So could you please tell how to make that command to execute.? (Asking too much ah?? Smile

semigeezer,

I remember that you can add delimiter at the end of the command and press enter and on the new command line you type the next line of the command and ISPF treats it as a single command.

However I can't recall what it is now Sad
