Related	to the line shift commands of PDF EDIT to the constructed SHIFT edit macro (very similar) In SHIFTNX lptr-range is optional, and NX is the default. ALIGNTAB, EDITCHEK, EDITOL, FIX..., FIXPI, FIXQUOTE, LEFT@, PERIOD, PINX, PINXDOIT, PIR, PLICHK, REFORMAT, REMDUPS, SHIFT,

The SHIFTNX edit macro permits the user to shift the non-Excluded lines LEFT or RIGHT. This macro will not allow you to shift any lines which would result in loss of data.

The SHIFT line commands in PDF edit allow you to specify a block of lines to be shifted. This macro allows you to mark out the block of lines with labels and include/exclude only the lines within this area that you want to shift.

An example would be in SCRIPT (DCF) where all lines except SCRIPT control commands were indented and you wish to remove this indentation, to permit normal formatting to occur or to use ".FO OFF FOLD|TRUNC|EXTEND" and not lose the positions at the beginning of each line. (also see left@)

SHIFTNX

[lptr-range] [NX | X] [LEFT | RIGHT [number-of-columns]] [VALIDNX] [FORCE]

lptr-range	Indicates that two line pointers are required to indicate a range of lines to be deleted. The line pointers must be a labels. Specifying one line pointer is invalid.
ENTIRE	Equivalent to .ZFIRST .ZLAST
NX	Affects only lines that are NOT EXCLUDED from the display. This is the default.
X	Affects only lines that are EXCLUDED from the display. This option reverses the default.
X NX	Specifying both options is necessary to override the default NX builtin this macro.
FORCE	(optional) will ignore check which insures that data will not be dropped from the beginning or end of lines.
VALIDNX	SHIFTNX SHIFT NX right or left
LEFT\|RIGHT	choose LEFT or RIGHT as the direction to be shifted.
number-of-columns	The number of columns non excluded (viewable) lines are to be shifted. Each non excluded line will be shifted with the PDF EDIT "(" or ")" shift line command.

Examples:

SHIFTNX .A .B LEFT 10

Internal Aspects: [TSO code] [SPF/PC code]

Labels, if presented, are checked for validity. If no labels used will use .ZFIRST and .ZLAST
Columns to be dropped are checked to insure that they are blank.
Loops through the lptr-range area and shifts NX and/or X lines as requested.
