Hi.
In ISPF when I edit a dataset and I need to copy a line from one place to another I do "C" copy and paste it using "a" at a location I want to. But if I have to copy it multiple time, I need to copy it multiple times, is there way to overcome this in ISPF? Please advise.

No. Or, at least, there wasn't. Try looking up 'K(eeP)'. I am not sure if that is what it does as it is 3 years since I last used a modern version of ISPF and I am not going to look up the manual as you can do that yourself.

With z/OS 2.1, I use the CUT primary command and PASTE primary command of ISPF to duplicate one or more lines of code multiple times.

"C" on line to copy, "AK"/"BK" on all lines to copy to, and just "A"/"B" on the last of them.

The 'K' is for Keep, so you did not look hard enough.
