Editing records within data sets
As well as editing the data within records,
you can use File Manager to edit the records within a data set
and segments within records if using a segmented template.
The term record
, when used below,
may refer to either a record or a segment within a record
depending on whether a segmented template is being used.
Note: Many editing actions are performed using prefix commands. Generally, you need to type over
only the first 1 or 2 characters of the line number to enter a prefix command. Sometimes, however,
typing a single character can be ambiguous. In the following example, it is unclear whether the
intended prefix command is R to repeat line 31700, or R3 to repeat the line three times, R31 to
repeat the line 31 times or R317 to repeat the line 317 times:
031600
R31700
031800In such cases, the editor assumes that you have not typed a number following the prefix command. If you want to repeat the line three times, you can type one or more blanks following the R3.
R3 700
