Re: Code/400

Michael,

I don't know what you mean by cut and paste "between sessions".   You  
select text with the mouse, or shift and arrow/pagedown/end/home keys.  
Once the text is selected, copy it by pressing control c/x or from the edit 
drop down window.  Paste using control p or the edit drop down.  I posted 
a Macro to speed up cut and paste on IBM's code macros page.  It will 
assume you want to cut/copy the line containing the cursor if no text is 
selected.  It will also paste at the line with the cursor without shifting 
lines.

The Rexx documentation used to be non-existent, but now you can open 
a macro member (end in .lx or lxu) and go to the Help drop down.  You 
should see the Rexx manual listed.  Some of the editor specific functions 
are documented in the editor reference.  I don't know why the help text is 
crashing for you.  It hasn't ever crashed on me.

Yes you can debug batch jobs.  When you start debug, you need to select 
the batch job (which would be held or on a queue).  It will send a message 
saying to hit OK once the program is running.

Is there a way to cut and paste between sessions? What I normally do is cut
the field names from a data
structure than copy those down into the C specs.. I couldn't find how to do
this.

We tried our darndest to use this thing for about a month and found that we
were going back to SEU more
and more. We did find the TAB key very useful. We never used the DSU
because we use Progen to create
any screen programs that we use. We may look at it for PRTF files though
(Currently use RLU).

The other thing that I have a problem with is the lack of real
documentation. It just came with a couple of CDs
and a small manual. How are you to learn the macro language? The crashes
were happening every time I
opened the help text.

Can you debug batch programs with the debugger?

Michael
