The CUT and PASTE edit macros provide a handy method to move data from one edit
session to another. The CUT macro saves lines from an edit session. The PASTE
macro places these lines into another edit session (or the same session). The
CUT macro can combine lines with previously saved lines. The PASTE macro
places these lines into one or more edit session. The edit sessions can be on
different screens and/or edit sessions started at a later time provided the
user does not exit ISPF.
The CUT and PASTE macros have several optional operands. The operands P (or
PROMPT) and D (or DEFAULTS) provide menu panels for entering the optional
operands as shown in the screen layouts below. The operand H (or HELP) can be
used to provide tutorial panels. The lines from the CUT macro are saved in an
ISPF table. A two-character operand is used to name the table for saved lines.
A numeric operand sets the limit for the size of the table. A two-character
operand on the PASTE macro names the table to obtain the lines. A numeric
operand is not used with PASTE. The table name will default if not given.
This default can be changed.
OPERAND FUNCTION
action This is the action to be performed by this CUT operation. Valid
choices are ADD to lines already cut or REPLACE the lines already
cut with the new lines. HELP is used to enter the tutorial for
CUT and PASTE. DEF is used to display the defaults panel for CUT.
If no operands are entered on the command, the defaults are used.
table This specifies a two-character suffix for the ISPF table
generated. The table name prefix is CUTPST. This operand can be
used to create several different groups of lines for later use by
PASTE.
limit The maximum number of lines to be cut by this operation. This
number can be from 100 to 99999.
Identify the lines to be cut by using the C, CC, M, or MM line commands in the
edit session.
OPERAND FUNCTION
action This is the action to be performed by this PASTE operation. Valid
choices are KEEP the lines cut in the ISPF table or ZERO the lines
cut so future CUT actions will start with an empty table. HELP is
used to enter the tutorial for CUT and PASTE. DEF is used to
display the defaults panel for PASTE. If no operands are entered
on the command, the defaults are used.
table This operand specifies the suffix of the ISPF table that has the
lines to be pasted. This name, if different from the default
name, must have been created by a prior CUT command.
Identify where the lines are to be placed using the A or B edit line commands.
Notes:
1. All operands on both commands are optional. The defaults values are used
for any item not entered.
2. The data lines cut are kept in an ISPF table. ISPF tables are associated
with a logical screen. If the screen where the lines were CUT is ended,
the table is deleted and the lines are not available for use by PASTE. A
logical screen is created by the SPLIT or HOLD commands. The lines are
also deleted when the ISPF session is terminated. They are not saved
across ISPF sessions.

Action ====> ADD, REPLACE, or blank for default
Enter END key for no action

ADD adds CUT lines to the end of previously CUT lines, if any
REPLACE clears any previously CUT lines and replaces them with newly CUT
lines
ZERO deletes previously CUT lines after the PASTE operation
KEEP keeps previously CUT lines after the PASTE operation to be used by a
later PASTE or added to by later CUT operations
