Aliases are abbreviated reference names for long identifiers that have been entered in the source code. To define an alias for an identifier on which the cursor is currently located, press the GOLD-CTRL/A key sequence and type the abbreviation at the prompt: _Alias name: name Whenever the abbreviated reference name is typed and expanded (CTRL/E), the original identifier string will appear in the buffer. The LSE commands used for the manipulation of aliases are: EXTRACT ALIAS alias-name selects the definition of the alias name and formats it as a command. DEFINE ALIAS name [value] specifies the alias name to be assigned and the value of the string to be referenced. DELETE ALIAS name specifies the alias name to be deleted.
