EDIT Files An EDIT file is a specially formatted disk file. When you use the EDIT
program to create a disk file, it always creates an EDIT file and assigns the
file a file code of 101.
How EDIT Files Are Named EDIT files have names. You enter the full name of an EDIT file in this
format:
$volname.subvolname.filename
Partial names of an EDIT file are:
subvolname.filename
and
filename
Volname is the name of a disk pack mounted on a disk drive. A volname
begins with a dollar sign ($), followed by from one to seven
alphanumeric characters, and the first character must be alphabetic.
System operators name the disk packs.
Subvolname is the name of a set of related files on a disk pack. A
subvolname can be from one to eight alphanumeric characters, and the
first character must be alphabetic. You create and name your own
subvolumes.
Filename is the name of a particular EDIT file within a subvolume on a
volume. A filename can be from one to eight alphanumeric characters,
and the first character must be alphabetic. You create and name your
own EDIT files.
