Thread: TSO and ISPF

Where do I put an ISPF edit macro so the editor finds it?

Wrote a tiny REXX edit macro (ISREDIT MACRO / EXCLUDE / DELETE). Typing the member name on the command line does nothing.

Does it need to live in SYSPROC? SYSEXEC? Both?

Member name = command name. Library must be in SYSPROC or SYSEXEC concatenation.

DDLIST (or ISRDDN) to see what you have. ALTLIB or a logon clist if you cannot touch the site concat. Macro itself should ADDRESS ISREDIT after the MACRO statement.

I keep personal macros in a PDS and ALTLIB ACTIVATE APPLICATION(EXEC) DATASET(...) for the session.
