Browse and edit procedures

This section discusses some of the editing procedures that File-AID provides, including:

File-AID provides two types of editing commands:

• Primary commands
• Line commands.

Primary commands are entered in the COMMAND field of the screen. After a primary command is executed, it is normally erased. The contents of the COMMAND field may be retained by preceding the command name by the ampersand (&) character. Primary commands are fully discussed in Primary-commands.

Line commands affect individual lines or specified blocks of lines. Enter line commands by overtyping the sequence field or label located at the left end of each data line. Line commands are fully discussed in Line-commands.
