It fells as if it would be a good Idea for ISPF on z/OS to do likewise; even further; and give the user an arbitrary choice of editors.
When the "other" (did you guess it?) editor exits ISPF/CMS does its best to synthesize stat, in a side-deck file. Has jedit (or other) been ported to z/OS? I just tried it on Linux and it seems competent with non-Latin UTF-8 files. -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
