Edit Batch Requests

You can edit existing request data sets from foreground.

To edit an existing request data set

  1. From the Primary Options Menu, select option 3, BATCH.

    The Batch Options Menu opens.

  2. On the Batch Options Menu, specify the data set you want to edit using the REQUEST DATA SET or OTHER PARTITIONED OR SEQUENTIAL DATA SET fields.
  3. On the Batch Options Menu, select option 2, EDIT and press Enter.

    An edit panel showing the contents of the specified data set opens. The edit panel uses the standard ISPF Edit facility.

  4. Use the edit panel to review the action requests in the data set, or to modify the data set.

    Note: For more information about coding the batch requests, see the SCL Reference Guide.

    Note: The ISPF Edit Recovery facility is not available for this function. If your TSO session crashes, then any changes made, but not saved, will be lost. You can, however use the ISPF/PDF Edit RECOVERY ON/OFF command to control whether a recovery data set is associated with the element. The RECOVERY ON command is used in conjunction with the UNDO Edit command.
