Dear all,

I was trying this piece of code(below) and I was not able to delete the particular lines as expected. And one more thing is even though I have coded "ISREDIT SAVE" "ISREDIT END" I need to press f3 for the file to get saved. Can anyone one suggest me where do I go wrong. Apologize if my thoughts are wrong.

You thanked for the link I posted for a working snippet

Think of ""ISPEXEC EDIT ... " as an external subroutine. When a rexx program calls an external subroutine, the rexx program is suspended until the subroutine ends. Only when the subroutine ends does the next rexx statement get executed. And that is why your initial program could not work.
