PDSCHG

Sets the mode for the CHANGE command in the current edit session when editing a PDS member and changing to and from strings of different lengths. Use the PROFILE command to retain the PDSCHG value between edit sessions.

Syntax:

   PDSCHG  [D|DATA | I|ISPF]

Syntax Description:

D|DATA

Line data is shifted left or right as needed when the length of the to string differs from the length of the from string.

I|ISPF

Line data is shifted left or right as needed within the regions bounded by multiple blanks when the length of the to string differs from the length of the from string. The rules for shifting are the same as those for ISPF. When shifting cannot be completed, the line is marked with ERROR.
