A usage question

[Schuh, Richard]

That depends on the way you entered XEDIT for each. If you did it by typing the xedit command on the command line, then a simple XEDIT (can be abbreviated X) on the command line will cycle you through them; X fn ft will jump to that member of the XEDIT ring. If you used FILELIST, RDRLIST, MACLIST, etc., for any but the first, then you are out of luck. Each one of those commands starts its own ring and you cannot use the XEDIT command to traverse from one ring to another.

Hello Everyone,

When I am xediting a member, I may have jumped into 2 or 3
members.
Is there a way to rotate to each member with getting out of each?

Can I jump to a specific member?

Thanks,

Snag the INFOLIST package off of the IBM VM download page
(http://www.vm.ibm.com/download/packages/). It's a replacement for
FILE LIST, MACLIST and RDRLIST with a lot of handy features. You can
cycle through all of your files in a XEDIT session, regardless of how
you got there. YMMY.

Here are two XEDIT macros to rotate thru the ring of files
/* UR = UpRing - Cestrian*/
"extract /ring"
if ring.0>2 then 'x' subword(ring.3,1,3)

/* DR = DownRing - Cestrian*/
"extract /ring"
i=ring.0
if ring.0>2 then 'x' subword(ring.i,1,3)

RING related, or better, "pure ring":
In my LISTSG package on VM's download library, you can find my RING XEDIT
that allows to execute various XEDIT commands to all (or a subset) of the
files in the current XEDIT ring. Example
RING TOP <-- go to top of file everywhere
RING /begin/ <-- locate this string
.....
RING <-- list the files in the ring in a FILELIST fashion
My improved FILELIST package has an X2 command to place the files in the
same ring as FILELIST, this is what I normally use before playing with my
RING macro.
