hi all,

when edit/view dataset, there are some messages(==MSG) given a heade of line 1, like

Command ===> Scroll ===> CSR
****** ***************************** Top of Data ******************************
==MSG> -CAUTION- Profile changed to NUMBER OFF (from NUMBER ON STD).
==MSG> Data does not have valid standard numbers.
000001 //TESTJOB JOB TEST,
000002 // CLASS=3,MSGCLASS=R,NOTIFY=&SYSUID
000003 //*

i want to edit this MSG to give my messages, how can i do?

Depending upon exactly what you are wanting to do, what you want may -- or may not -- be possible. If you want to replace system messages with messages of your own wording, that probably will not happen. You need to find the TSO/ISPF bookshelf manual ISPF Edit and Edit Macros which may allow you to use TSO/ISPF to accomplish what you want -- check the sections on MSG.

You can write an editor macro that does:
1. RESET to remove existing MSG lines.
2. LINE_BEFORE statement with MSGLINE parameter

You may also want to try INFOLINE and NOTELINE... you may prefer those over the MSGLINE. They look slightly different.

000002 ADDRESS ISREDIT
000003 MACRO "NOPROCESS"
000004 "RESET"
000005 "LINE_BEFORE 1 = NOTELINE 'HELLO!'"
000006 exit
