Starts the EDIT/3000 subsystem, which is used to create and
manipulate ASCII text or program files.
Syntax |
 |
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.
