Zeus IDE

I'm just learning the Zeus editor after many years using CodeWright. I've been able to accomplish pretty much everything I've needed to but I can't figure out how to insert a file into the file I'm currently editing.

I'm working in COBOL and I'm writing a file conversion program and would like to read the select and fd copybooks from the old version of the file into the conversion program. I went ahead and worked around it by opening the copybooks and copy/pasted them into my program. But I would like to know how to do this in the future.

For those familiar with CodeWright the option was Edit/Insert File

I can't figure out how to insert a file into the file I'm currently editing.

One option is to use FileInsertAtCursor keyboard function, which will ask the user for the file name and as the name suggests insert that file at the cursor.

That function can be bound to the keyboard, but to just test the function use the Macro, Execute Script menu and type in FileInsertAtCursor in the resulting dialog.

But it would also be quite easy to write a script that reads and inserts a file, so many other options are also possible.

In what you are trying to achieve where are you expecting to get the name of the file to be inserted

That was exactly what I was looking for! Thanks
