Re: Re: Fullscreen application Specs

EDIT on a VM/370 R6 system does not support UPDATES. Xedit on VM/SP and later can process
an assemble file, apply all of the updates indicated by the specified control and auxfiles
and when you save it, your changes are saved as CMS UPDATES in the LAST update file listed
in the auxfiles.

What I did on VM/370 R6 was to apply the updates to create a NEW MASTER, edit the new
master and after saving/filing it to MY MASTER, run XCOMPARE new_master my_master
update_file and then erase the new master and my master leaving just an update file that
can be added to the auxfiles.

This also works for MVT/MVS programs since XCOMPARE can create IEBUPDTE control cards
instead of CMS UPDATE control cards.
