Use the configured screen or text editor to edit part programs. The editor
must be compatible with the ODS operating system. The editor must be
configured using the Text Editor Setup option of the F5-Configuration
menu at the main menu line. For details on how to use a specific screen or
text editor, such as ending an edit session, displaying a program, etc., see
the documentation provided with the screen or text editor.
You can find details about programming blocks in later chapters.
Important: The end of block statements, ”;” used to separate blocks on the
control should not be entered with the screen or text editor. The control
automatically inserts the end of block statements ”;” at the end of each line
when the program is downloaded to the control.
