I use the command "look, with eyes, at line above command line".

However, your question is very unclear.

As BillyBoyo says, your request is most unclear.
  • As PRINO says, if you are editing or browsing a member on ISPF, what you want is right in front of your eyes.
  • If your are running a binary program, I know no practical way to obtain this information. I have never used the CSVINFO or CSVQUERY macros, but they do not seem to return the information you want.
  • I know of no API to retrieve this information for a Rexx EXEC.

Actually, it's not the solution, as it will fail miserably in a REXX exec that is executed by TSO EX 'mypds.exec(whatever)'

It's is not your English which was the problem, it was the lack of even a clue as to what you were trying to do, where you were trying to do it, or why.
