Re: Magic Characters ISPF.
The only "magic" one I know about is asterisk.
When EDITing data and changing a long string of data where the from/to values exceed the COMMAND line, you can dothe long string and then do where the asterisk represents the previously found data string.

Code: Select all
FIND 'a super duper long string of data'

Hello,
Please do not use "chat room slang" anywhere in the forum. This may be ok at your job's e-mail or school or when texting friends, but the intention of the forum is to be more professional.
Thank you.
