RE: Locking down SEU exit parameters

Hi Michael

My first thought was to write a subfile program to handle it, but I had
hoped to be able to use an existing text editor instead - hence SEU. I
think Mark's idea of using the EDTF command is probably the way to go.

Thanks

Jonathan

That's a good idea Mark. My thought would be to load the information
into a subfile and let the user make changes. PITA for things like
wrapping and such, but it would work.

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.

Does anybody know if it is possible to lock down the parameters shown on

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
