Using the EPI Recording and Playback Options › Overview: Recording REXX EXECs › Issue Recording Commands

Issue Recording Commands

The EPI recording option provides a set of commands to define the recording environment, to mark text from the application screen to insert into your REXX EXEC, to enter keystrokes or to issue CA OPS/MVS command processors, and to turn recording on or off. You can issue most commands in either of two modes:

• Novice Mode

  When you issue a command in novice mode, the EPI displays a panel describing what the command does and telling you what keystrokes to enter.

• Experienced Mode

  When you issue a command in experienced mode, the EPI lets you execute that command without displaying its explanatory panel.

To issue a recording command in experienced mode

• Type the command and any other necessary keywords or characters on the command line.
• Press Enter.

  The command executes.

Important! Choose novice mode if you are new to the EPI. Experienced mode provides a shortcut for users familiar with recording commands.
