Re: #VMCE #rexx EE goes XEDIT - compiling a wish list #VMCE #rexx


 

±á¾±?¸é±ð²Ô¨¦,?
What I want to see in a full screen editor for VMCE, is the ability to use REXX as a MACRO language
for the editor so we can?implement?new editor commands in REXX and issue 'address XEDIT' type
calls from within these new commands.?
There are obstacle in implementing this, including getting EE out of the user area at X'20000' so that
more than a small subset of CMS commands can be issued while EE is running.

I think it goes without saying that we would very much like to see Rexx compatibility for EE and a more XEDIT-like working - although it is not at all bad at the moment, just a bit different. Because we are all very busy, it would be good if there would be an easy way to be involved in testing, e.g. by having a way to up/downgrade your EE installation, for example a github repo where we can easily download versions.

I would like to tell you what my personal priorities would be. As I am a late VM user (I had the course in 1987 on (probably) VM/SP R5 and had already my first opportunity to use XEDIT in 2019) (because in 1987 I only ever used VM to IPL MVS in it and then PR/SM came along) - all my Rexx editor macros start with ADDRESS ISREDIT.

Also, as opposed to most people I work with, I use the 3270 emulator keyboard as was intended, with enter mapped to linefeed and ctrl-right to send. So I am using XLIST and I wish it behaved a bit more like FILELIST (we could probably do that in Rexx now), I have X synonymed to EE and I find it almost workable. But I would very, very much have it behave a bit more like modern XEDIT.

best regards,

Ren¨¦ Jansen.

No feedback ... are editors much less significant in the (emulated) mainframe community now since most people are doing it the Zowe way ?
