FIX Command
EDIT Command Summary
058061 Tandem Computers Incorporated 4–47
EDIT treats the first nonblank character in the editing line as the
beginning of a subcommand (if the character is an R, I, or D) or the
beginning of a replacement string. EDIT also treats the first nonblank
character that follows the // character sequence as the beginning of a
subcommand. You can put more than one subcommand on an editing
line in three ways:
Terminating an R or I subcommand with the // character sequence
and then giving another subcommand or replacement string.
Terminating a replacement string with the // character sequence
and then giving another replacement string or a subcommand.
Following the D subcommand with a replacement string or with
another subcommand. (You do not have to terminate the D
subcommand with the // character sequence. EDIT treats the first
character after the D subcommand as the beginning of another
subcommand.) See Example 5, following.
You can terminate a FIX command before you have edited all the lines
in the range in three ways:
Type the // character sequence (followed by a carriage return) in
columns 1 and 2 following the FIX command prompt
Press BREAK (or equivalent)
Type CTRL-Y (press CTRL and Y at the same time)
When you terminate a FIX command, the current line displayed by the FIX
command is restored to its pre-FIX command state (that is, any FIX
operations are ignored). See Example 6, following.
