Initial Macro

You can specify a macro to be processed before you begin editing your sequential dataset or any member of a partitioned dataset. This initial macro allows you to set up a particular editing environment for the Edit session you are beginning.

If you leave the Initial Macro field blank and your edit profile includes an initial macro specification, the initial macro from your edit profile is processed.

If you want to suppress the processing of an initial macro in your edit profile, type NONE in the Initial Macro field.
