MPE V to MPE XL: Getting Started

Lesson 7:  Numbering with DO and REDO 

DO and REDO allow you to specify command line numbers from the history
stack using either absolute or relative numbers regardless of how the
numbering on your history stack is displayed.


In the example above, either DO -3 or DO 2 would cause SHOWJOB to be
reexecuted.

Exercise 

10.  Display your command line history stack on your screen and specify
     relative numbering.  Use DO with an absolute line number to
     reexecute any command in your history stack.
