DO Allows the user to reexecute any command still retained in the command line history stack. It also permits the user to edit the command before reexecuting it, but without having to use the interactive mode of the REDO command.
DO [[CMD=]cmdid][[;EDIT=]editstring]
This command follows the more flexible MPE/iX command line syntax. Refer to the MPE/iX Commands Reference Manual (32650-90003) for more information.
cmdid Specifies the command to reexecute. The command may be specified by its relative or absolute order in the command line history stack, or by name (as a string), in whole or in part. The default is -1, the most recent command. MPE/iX detects an error if cmdid does not exist in the command line history stack. CMDID EXECUTES (omitted) The previous command. -n The nth command before the most recent one. N is a number in the command line stack relative to the most recent command, which is -1. m Command number m in the command line stack. The number m is absolute (not relative). string The most recent command beginning with string. editstring String specifying the edit to be performed on cmdid before its re-execution. If you omit editstring, the command is re-executed immediately, with no editing performed. If you specify editstring, it must appear, character for character, and space for space, exactly as it would if you were using DO's interactive mode. The editing directives used in editstring are described in the table below. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Directive Effect on the current line ----------------------------------------------------------------------- i<text> INSERT. Inserts <text> at the position to the left of the i. r<text> REPLACE. Uses <text> to perform a one-for-one character replacement beginning at the position of the r. c CHANGE. Changes all occurrences of one string to another when the search string and replace string are properly delimited with a non-alphabetic character such as ', ", /, and so on. Specify c<delim>search-string<delim>replace-string<delim> to substitute characters. Or, to delete all occurrences of the search string without substitution, omit the replace string. d DELETE. Deletes a character. You may specify multiple d's to delete a series of characters. Or, you may type multiple d's, followed by spaces, then followed by more d's to delete some characters while skipping others. You may follow this directive with other edits. dw DELETE WORD. Deletes a word starting at the letter d. A word is defined as all characters except a space, comma, or semicolon. If you place the d directly beneath a word delimiter, then the word and the delimiter characters are deleted. If no word exists on the command line, no delete occurs. You may follow this directive with other edits. d<delim> DELETE TO DELIMITER. Deletes all characters starting at the position of the d and ending at, but not including, the specified delimiter. If <delim> is not found, no delete occurs. You may follow this directive with other edits. d> DELETE TO EOL. Deletes to the end of the current line from the position specified by d. You may follow this directive with other edits. ^ UPSHIFT. Upshifts the character positioned at the ^. You may specify multiple ^'s to upshift a series of characters. Or, you may type multiple ^'s, followed by spaces, then followed by more ^'s to upshift some characters while skipping others. You may follow this directive with other edits. ^w UPSHIFT WORD. Upshifts the word starting at the position specified by ^. A word is defined as all characters except a space, comma, or semicolon. If you place the ^ directly beneath a word delimiter, the delimiter is skipped and only the word is upshifted. If no word exists on the command line, no upshift occurs. You may follow this directive with other edits. ^<delim> UPSHIFT TO DELIMITER. Upshifts all characters starting at the position specified by the ^ and ending at, but not including, the specified delimiter. If <delim> is not found, no upshift occurs. You may follow this directive with other edits. ^> UPSHIFT TO EOL. Upshifts all characters starting from the position specified by the ^ to the end of the current line. You may follow this directive with other edits. v DOWNSHIFT. Downshifts the character positioned at the v. You may specify multiple v's to downshift a series of characters. Or, you may type multiple v's, followed by spaces, then followed by more v's to downshift some characters while skipping others. You may follow this directive with other edits. vw DOWNSHIFT WORD. Downshifts the word starting at the position specified by v. A word is defined as all characters except a space, comma, or semicolon. If you place the v directly beneath a word delimiter, the delimiter is skipped and only the word is downshifted. If no word exists on the command line, no downshift occurs. You may follow this directive with other edits. v<delim> DOWNSHIFT TO DELIMITER. Downshifts all characters starting at the position of the v and ending at, but not including, the specified delimiter. If <delim> is not found, no downshift occurs. You may follow this directive with other edits. v> DOWNSHIFT TO EOL. Downshifts all characters starting from the position specified by the v to the end of the current line. You may follow this directive with other edits. ><text> APPEND TO EOL. Appends the text to the end of the current line. If > is positioned beyond the end of the current line, then a replacement is performed instead. >d DELETE FROM EOL. Deletes from the end of the current line, right-to-left. You may specify multiple d's and follow this directive with other edits. >dw DELETE WORD FROM EOL. Deletes the last word in the command line. To find the last word, trailing word delimiters are skipped. If no word exists in command line, then none is deleted. If you follow >dw with additional editing directives, each edit is performed recursively. That is, the first edit is performed (updating the current EOL), then the next edit is performed (again updating the current EOL), and so on. >d<delim> DELETE TO <DELIM> FROM EOL. Starting at the end of the current line, deletes all characters right-to-left up to, but not including, <delim>. If <delim> is not found, no delete occurs. If you follow >d<delim> with additional editing directives, each edit is performed recursively. That is, the first edit is performed (updating the current EOL), then the next edit is performed (again updating the current EOL), and so on. >^ UPSHIFT FROM EOL. Upshifts the character at the current EOL. You may specify multiple ^'s to upshift a series of characters (read right-to-left) from the EOL. Also, you may follow this directive with other edits. >^w UPSHIFT WORD FROM EOL. Upshifts the last word in the command line. You may follow this directive with other edits. >^<delim> UPSHIFT TO <DELIM> FROM EOL. Starting at the end of the current line, upshifts all characters right-to-left up to, but not including, <delim>. If <delim> is not found, no upshift occurs. You may follow this directive with other edits. >v DOWNSHIFT FROM EOL. Downshifts the character at the current EOL. You may specify multiple v's to downshift a series of characters (read right-to- left) from the EOL, and you may follow this directive with other edits. >vw DOWNSHIFT WORD FROM EOL. Downshifts the last word in the command line. You may follow this directive with other edits. >v<delim> DOWNSHIFT TO <DELIM> FROM EOL. Starting at the end of the current line, downshifts all characters right-to-left up to, but not including, <delim>. If <delim> is not found, no downshift occurs. You may follow this directive with other edits. >r<text> REPLACE AT EOL. At the end of the command line, this directive replaces the exact number of characters specified in <text> with <text>. u UNDO. A single u in column one cancels the most recent edit of the current line. Using the UNDO command twice in a row cancels all edits for the current line and re-establishes the original, unedited line. If u is placed anywhere other than column one of the current line, then a simple replacement is performed. UNDO makes sense only if you have a line on which you have performed some editing that can be "undone." <char> SIMPLE REPLACEMENT. When you enter any other character that is not used in an editing directive, (i.e. i, r, d, ^, v, d>, >, >d, c, or u), <char> simply replaces the existing character at that position in the command line. In fact, simple replacement also occurs for the editing characters i, r, c, or > if they are not followed by text; or if you type > at or beyond the current end of line.
Reexecutes the command specified by cmdid. The user may specify an optional edit string to edit the command before it is re- executed. This command is a companion to the enhanced MPE/iX version of REDO. Unlike REDO, this command does not permit interactive editing. If editstring is specified, the edit will be performed on cmdid before the command is reexecuted. The editstring must appear exactly as it would if you were using the REDO command. Both cmdid and editstring must be surrounded by quote marks (" or ') if they contain any delimiters such as ; " ' [, ], =, or a space. This command is available in BREAK, but not in a job or from a program. Pressing [Break] will terminate recursive command executions from the history/redo stack.
Practical uses of the editing commands listed above are shown here EDIT ACTION u First occurrence undoes the previous edits. The u must be in column one. u Second occurrence undoes all edits on the current line. The u must be in column one. rxyz Replaces the current text with xyz starting at the position of r. xyz Replaces the current text with xyz starting at the position of x. ixyz Inserts xyz into the current line, starting at the position immediately before the i. ddd Deletes three characters, one above each d. d xyz Deletes a single character above the d, skips one space, then replaces the current text with xyz starting at the position of x. ddixyz Deletes two characters, then inserts xyz in the current line in the position before the i. d d Deletes one character above the first d, skips two spaces and deletes a second character above the second d. It does ^_not delete a range of characters, making it unlike the MPE V/E version of REDO. d d>xyz Deletes a single character above the first d, skips two spaces and deletes to the end of the line beginning at the second d, and then appends xyz to the end of line. ^wix Upshifts the word above the ^ and inserts an "x" at the end of the word it just upshifted. v/abc Starting at the position of V, downshifts all characters up to, but not including, the "/", then replaces the "/" and the next two characters with "abc". >xyz Appends xyz to the end of the current line. >ddxyz Deletes the last two characters from the end of the current line and then appends xyz to the end of the line. >rxyz Replaces the last three characters in the current line with xyz. >ixyz Appends xyz to the end of the line. In this case, the i command is superfluous, because > accomplishes the same result. Using >xyz would be sufficient. >dwxyz Deletes the last word of the current line and appends "xyz". c/ab/def Changes all occurrences of ab to def, starting at c. c"ab" Deletes all occurrences of "ab" starting at c. cxyz Replace the current text with cxyz, starting at c. Because delimiters have been specified (as they were in the previous two examples), this is a simple replacement. >dw^.dw Deletes the last word in the current line, recalculates the EOL, then upshifts all characters up to, but not including, the dot (.), then deletes the word to the left of the characters that were upshifted.
DO pas Re-executes the the most recent command beginning with the string pas. DO 10 Re-executes command number 10 (absolute) on the command history stack. DO -2 Reexecutes the second-to-last command on the stack (one command before the most recent). DO -2, c/5a/5b Change all occurrences of 5a to 5b in the command preceding the most recent one before reexecuting it. The default is -1. do ,c/5a/5b Change all occurrences of "5a" to "5b" in the most recent command before re- executing it. DO run, ">;debug" Append ;debug to the the most recent RUN command and then reexecute it. DO 'RUN MYP', '>;LIB=G' Find the most recent command beginning with RUN MYP and append ;LIB=G before re-executing it.
