Shifting data z/OS ISPF Edit and Edit Macros SC19-3621-00 |
|
When you edit data, the editor automatically shifts characters on
a line to the left or right to accommodate insertions or deletions.
This shifting can be either implicit or
explicit .
Implicit shifts occur when the CHANGE command string2 length
is different from the string1 length. Explicit shifts occur
when you use these commands:
Two columns is the default for shift operations. When shifting a
block of lines more or less than the default, enter the amount on the
first or last line of the block. If you enter it in both places, the
line shifts only if:
If the shift amounts are different and neither amount is the default, an error message appears and the shift is not performed. Shifting occurs within column boundaries. The default boundaries are typically the first and last columns in which you can type source code for the particular programming language. See Edit boundaries for a discussion of default boundaries and the procedures for changing them. |
