The STAMP edit macro provides the user with a way to easily place a DATE/TIME,
TIME/DATE, DATE, or TIME stamp on one, some, or all the lines in a file in what
ever column the user chooses.
By default, STAMP will place a DATE/TIME stamp in the format of
YY/MM/DDHH:MM:SS where ever the user's cursor is when STAMP is invoked. By
using special keyword parameters and standard edit command parameters, you can
change the type of stamp and process multiple lines at a time.
The special keywords indicate the type of stamp you would like. They are as
follows:
TIME - HH:MM:SS
DATE - YY/MM/DD
TIMEDATE - HH:MM:SSYY/MM/DD
DATETIME - YY/MM/DDHH:MM:SS (this is the default)
You may specify the column number where you want to begin the stamp text
string, and/or the excluded status of the lines you want to process, and/or a
label range of the lines you want to process. For instance, if hou wanted to
place a "TIMEDATE" stamp on all the lines beginning in column 30 which did not
contain the string "XYZ" from where you are in the file to the end of it, you
could type the following on the command line:
COMMAND ===> x all 'xyz';stamp timedate 30 nx .zcsr .zlast
