In-place-in-memory edit

This type of In-place edit keeps as many of the records of the data set in virtual storage as will comfortably fit (or as many as specified by a record limit). The data set is updated from these records kept in storage when you enter a SAVE, END, or FILE command.

When File Manager uses this editing technique, it displays "Inplace Edit" in the top left of the editor panel title line.

File Manager uses this type of edit under one of these conditions:
  • You have selected Inplace edit and the data set being edited is small enough to be loaded entirely into memory.
  • You have specified a record limit of MEMORY.
  • You have selected Record Sampling.
