DUC or CSR BR code ????

Hi:

I am a COBOL programmer. I have been to workshops where they have these neat CLISTs or REXX code in place to make work a bit easier. What I am talking about in particular are 2 commands. They are DUC B/E (dataset under cursor browse/edit) and CSR BR/ED (cursor browse/edit).

The above commands allow you to place your cursor on a dataset name or program name within the JCL and it opens up the dataset in cursor or browse mode. Both commands work the same. Some installations even allow you to open up programs.

Has anyone else seen the above features used before? If so, where can I get the code?

Thanks,
Thomas

What you are describing sounds a lot like an ISPF Edit macro called "ZOOM". I did a search in Google and found a few sites with the ZOOM REXX source code.

Also, on Doug Nadel's web site "http://sillysot.com/mvs/", he lists a utility called "VCURSOR".

It also appears that the orignal "ZOOM" exec is available from the CBT Tape website "http://www.cbttape.org".

Good luck!
