Samples

This example shows the variable ZPLEX as displayed by DUMPVAR. (ZPLEX is where edit highlight information is stored). It includes the variable name, userid, date, time and variable size. Since the data is shown in a temporary file, if you ever need to save the data set, type TSO ISRDDN on the command line and edit the file from there; then use the CREATE or REPLACE command to save the data.
