MOVE
MOVE transfers lines to a new location.
Form
MOV[E] lb[/le] TO loc [BY inc]
Parameter Explanation
lb Single line you wish to move or the beginning of a range
of lines you are moving.
le Last line of range you wish to move.
TO loc Location where the lines are to appear. If destination
line exists, the lines will be moved starting at the
next line in sequence.
BY inc Increment of line numbers you wish to use. If "BY inc"
isn't specified, the current default increment is used.
If you attempt to move too many lines into a restricted
position, the move may be blocked by the next higher
line number. When this occurs, none of the lines are
moved.
Purpose
The MOVE command transfers a line or lines to a designated location.
Related Commands
The COPY command duplicates a line or lines in a new position while
leaving the original lines where they are. The MOVE command does not
leave lines in their original position; they are physically transferred.
* Execution mode: Line or Block.
* Record pointer: At the line following the last line that was moved.
* Control Y: Stops the listing of lines being moved.
Examples
The following are legal abbreviations which may be used with the MOVE
command and its parameters:
MOV 10 TO 20 Move line 10 to line 20. (If data has been entered on
line 20, RISE will move 10 to the next higher line by
automatically creating an increment such as 20.1 if that
is possible.)
MOV *-5/*+5 to Move a range of lines beginning 5 lines before the
*+20 current record pointer to a position 20 lines after the
current record pointer.
MOV F TO LAST Move the first line to the last line in the file.
In the first example, SIMCAL is copied into a work file using the TEXT
command, and five lines are brought to the screen using LIST (1). The
MOVE command is then used to move line 2 to line 3.5 (2). The results
are automatically displayed (3). Lines 1 through 5 are then LISTed (4).

In the next example, the record pointer is moved to the last line in the
file when LIST LAST is entered (1). A command is then given to MOVE a
range of lines beginning ten lines before the current record pointer and
ending with the last line in the file to line 100 (2). The results
appear on the screen (3). An attempt to move an empty line range brings
up an error message (4). Another error is committed when a MOVE command
is entered with only a portion of the line range specified (5). Finally,
a third error is caused by a MOVE command used with an illegal
destination value (6).
