PCA$HELP.HLB  —  EDIT
    Analyzer Command

    Allows you to use an editor (such as the Language Sensitive
    Editor) to edit the source file displayed by the current PLOT
    or TABULATE command.

    Format

      EDIT  [[module-name\] line-number]

1  –  Parameters 

 module-name

    Positions the editor in the specified module. When you specify a
    module, you must also specify a line number.

 line-number

    Positions the editor at the specified line number. If you specify
    a line-number without a module-name, the module is assumed to be
    the module at which you are currently positioned in the PLOT or
    TABULATE source display. If you do not specify line-number, the
    editor is positioned at the line at the center of the current
    page of PLOT or TABULATE output.

2  –  Description 

    The EDIT command invokes an editor to edit the source file
    displayed by the current PLOT or TABULATE command. To edit the
    default module, use a traverse command (see the Traverse_Commands
    topic in HELP) or the /SOURCE qualifier on the PLOT or TABULATE
    command and use a BY LINE or BY CODEPATH node specification.

    If you specify no parameter on the EDIT command, the editor
    is positioned at the central line of the PLOT or TABULATE page
    currently shown on your terminal. The module-name and line-number
    parameters allow you to position the editor at a different source
    file or line.

    When you exit from the editor, you are then returned to the
    Analyzer session. However, if you use the /EXIT qualifier on the
    EDIT command, the Analyzer session is terminated and the editor
    is invoked in the same process.

    The editor you call must be accessible from DCL level, and may be
    set with the SET EDITOR command.

3  –  Qualifiers

3.1    /EXIT 

       /EXIT
       /NOEXIT

    The /EXIT qualifier terminates the Analyzer session before
    invoking the editor. The editor is then run in the same process
    and you are returned to DCL level when exiting the editor.

    The /NOEXIT qualifier returns you to the Analyzer session when
    you exit the editor. /NOEXIT is the default.
