END—End the Edit Session

The END macro command ends the editing of the current sequential data set or partitioned data set member.

Syntax


Macro command syntax

>>-ISREDIT--END------------------------------------------------><

Description

If an edit macro contains an ISREDIT END statement, there can be no other ISREDIT or ISPEXEC statements following it. If one of these kinds of statements does follow an ISREDIT END, the edit macro ends with an error when that statement occurs. However, any other CLIST, REXX exec, or program statements can follow an ISREDIT END statement and process normally.

If no aliases have been defined for END, the response of the editor to the END command depends on:

Whether changes were made to the data during your current edit session
If changes were made, whether a SAVE command was entered after the last change
The setting of number mode, autonum mode, stats mode, autolist mode, and autosave mode in the edit profile
Whether you were editing a member that was an alias of another member

Note: When END is entered in the macro field in the edit prompt panel (ISRUEDIT), the macro name is not saved in the profile for use in future sessions. This is to avoid having the editor appear to do nothing when it is invoked from the data set list.

See Ending an edit session for more information.

Return codes

0: Normal completion
4: New member saved
12: END not done, AUTOSAVE OFF PROMPT set, or Data not saved (insufficient space)
