The ISPF-editor in TSO is a very powerful tool with a lot of functions only known to few people. Lots of us can benefit from these functions. One of the clever details are a tiny sample EDIT-macro delivered with ISPF. The macro is known as ONLY and is used in precisely the same manner as FIND (or F in daily use). ONLY works exactly as a EXCLUDE ALL (X ALL is enough) followed by a FIND <needle> ALL.
Try it, if you are not familiar with ONLY. And if you are, then try to find out how many who knows it already. Our experience are, that it is surprisingly few.
If ONLY is not avaiable at your installation, you can start looking after the original in the SISPSAMP library in member ISRONLY.
