It's simple, but, IMHO, pointless. At the beginning of the macro, you test the current environment. If it's not ISREDIT, then call EDIT with an initial macro.

Hey Rexxers, I suspect that this is simple, but my old, feeble brain can't find the answer. Is it possible to use a Rexx program to edit a file (maybe a PDS member, maybe a flat file, shouldn't care) and to issue ISREDIT commands there, but not by using a separate macro? IOW, I want to have a single program that I can pass a file as a parm, and then this Rexx program edits the file, does some commands to find things and maybe change things, saves the file, displays some other stuff, and then ends. Is there a way to do this Edit stuff without a separate macro?
