Multiple Commands per Line
You can enter several commands on a single line, if you separate them with semicolons. The maximum command line is 256 characters, and & is not supported for continuation. If you want to have an MPE command or a calculator command in the stack, you should enclose it in parentheses. This prevents Qedit from passing the rest of the line as parameters. For example,
List 5;Listspf o ;seleq=[owner=mgr.acct];List 4 {fails} List 5;(Listspf o ;seleq=[owner=mgr.acct]);List 4 {works}
If the syntax requires semicolons and parentheses, you have to put the problematic command in a command file, a UDC, or set it in a MPE variable and use it in the command list instead.
Any error causes Qedit to flush the remaining commands in the line.
list 505;add *-1 {list line 505; add just before it} shut;stream job23
When combining Qedit commands, be certain to use the same quote character in all the commands.
