VSEDIT

VSE Full Screen Editor

Introduction

A simple, full-screen VSE system editor was needed to run from the console to allow fixes to VSE Library members when you can't get more than BG to run and/or can't even get the IPL procedure to complete.

No longer it is necessary typing in LIBR UPD statements from the console.

VSEDIT is a full-screen editor for IBM 3270 non-SNA terminals, it allows you read members from a VSE sublibrary or VSE/ICCF library, modify the data, and save it into a VSE sublibrary.

VSEDIT don't require CICS, VTAM or POWER, it needs only a non-SNA terminal (may use the VSE console).

If POWER is available, allows you read queue entries and Submit batch Jobs for execution.

The only special requirement is the BTAM library components, this can be found into a backup tape of VSE 2.3 or previous version.

VSEDIT has been successfully tested under VSE 2.3, 2.6, 2.7 and Z/VSE. It work great using another non-SNA terminal, and work without troubles when taking over the VSE console.
