AutoEdit Facility in KSL

The AutoEdit facility provides additional data manipulation capabilities. It is composed of the following types of AutoEdit symbols and instructions:

• AutoEdit Variables
  • System Variables
  • AutoEdit System Variables
  • User-Defined Variables
  • Rules of Variable Substitution
• AutoEdit Operators
• AutoEdit Functions
  • %%$CALCDATE Function
  • %%$SUBSTR Function
  • %%$TIMEINT Function
  • %%$PARSE Function

Note: KSL and Control-M use different AutoEdit processors. Therefore, if a KSL script containing KSL AutoEdit terms is submitted under Control-M, the Control-M AutoEdit %%RANGE statement must be used in the JCL to ensure that the Control-M AutoEdit processor skips, that is, that it does not process, the KSL script.
