REXX execute NAME. QHELP
 users.      TSO users
 type.       REXX execute  resides in SYS1.TSOCLIST

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
QHELP    TSO HELP information viewable in a dataset under EDIT
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    related   QHELP@, CLIST, PROC
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

     QHELP  will  place  TSO HELP information into a dataset  which will be
     placed into PDF EDIT.   The advantage is that the user  may  then  use
     normal PDF edit commands to examine the content, specifically the fol-
     lowing options are available in EDIT.

     1.  Use of the FORWARD and BACKWARD PF keys.  Simply using HELP allows
         a forward direction only.
     2.  Ability to use FIND.
     3.  Ability to use FIND ALL  after using EXCLUDE ALL
     4.  Cut and Paste ability using EDIT.

     The  source  of  the HELP information will depend on what your SYSHELP
     ddname is.  SYSHELP is comprised of such datasets as:

         SYS1.HELP
         SYS1.TSOHELP
         SYS6.IOF.HELP
         SYS1.DSNHELP
         SYS6.APEX.HELP

  QHELP commandname
       QHELP clistname              -- some clists do have HELP

Examples

     ===> TSO QHELP allocate            equivalent to ===> TSO  HELP  allo-
     cate
     ===> TSO QHELP vpsprint            equivalent   to   ===>   TSO   HELP
     vpsprint
     ===> TSO QHELP printoff            equivalent   to   ===>   TSO   HELP
     printoff
     ===> TSO QHELP                     equivalent   to   ===>   TSO   HELP

     The equivalent TSO command is what is SYSOUT TRAPPED by the REXX  exe-
     cute.   A corresponding macro (also REXX) is used for EDIT it is named
     QHELP@.


Internal Aspects

     Internal  aspects describes how the CLIST functions.  This information
     is particularly useful to someone who may need to design  a  similarly
     functional clist.  It may also provide additional insight to the user.

     1.  This is a REXX execute.
     2.  userid.QHELP.LIST is deleted and allocated.
     3.  If  there is a QHELP variable it is saved.  Even though they can't
         result in reinvoking this clist because of the datasetname.
     4.  Description is built for use of EDIT panel SYSEDDE2.
     5.  Edit is invoked with
              $EDIT userid.QHELP.LIST MACRO(QHELP@) PANEL(SYSEDDE2).
     6.  Variable QHELP is restored to original value.
