RE: Locking down SEU exit parameters

Hi Mark

Why is it that the obvious solutions are the ones we never consider. What a
fabulous idea, go to the top of the class.

I've used EDTF in the past for IFS files but had never considered it for
database files. Perfect.

Thanks

Jonathan

Hi, Jonathan:

How about this, since it is just a "text" member they are editing ...

Use the EDTF command instead of STRSEU ... e.g.:

EDTF FILE(ISS/QTXTSRC) MBR(XYZ)

EDTF, although originally for stream files, can also edit source phyical
file members, and has only F2=Save, F3=Save/Exit, and F12=Exit, with no
opportunity for the end user to change the member name, etc.

Regards,

Mark

SEU Exit screen?

I have a requirement where I need to invoke SEU so that the users can
perform some text editing on a specific TXT member and I am concerned that
the user may change the member name, source file or library when they exit
out of SEU.

Ideally I would like to be able to prevent the parameters from being
overridden (in a similar manner to command prompting using "?-" etc) or
alternatively find a means of identifying the source member, file and
library specified on the Exit screen.

I thought about using an exit program, but could only find QIBM_QSU_LCMD
which relates to SEU line commands.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Jonathan
