EDITOR
Starts the EDIT/3000 subsystem, which is used to create and manipulate
ASCII text or program files.
Syntax
EDITOR [listfile]
Parameters
listfile Actual file designator of file to receive any
output resulting from EDIT/3000 LIST and XPLAIN
commands when the OFFLINE option is specified. It
can be any ASCII output file. The formal file
designator and default is EDTLIST. If specified
with no device parameter, default device is LP.
You cannot backreference the formal file designator EDTLIST as an actual
file designator in the command parameter list. For further information,
refer to the "Implicit FILE Commands for Subsystems" discussion of the
FILE command.
Operation Notes
The EDITOR command starts the EDIT/3000 subsystem.
Use
This command may be issued from a session or job. It may not be used
from a program unless the user or the program has process handling (PH)
capability. It may not be used from BREAK. Pressing Break suspends the
execution of this command. Entering the RESUME command continues the
execution.
Example
To run EDIT/3000 during a session and specify a line printer (device
class LP) as the list device for offline output, enter:
FILE LISTFILE;DEV=LP
EDITOR *LISTFILE
Because the listfile is often a line printer, it is often defined with
the FILE command and backreferenced as in the preceding example.
