Purpose

Execute a text editor to edit text files


Syntax

MODIFY FILE <txt filename> | (<expC>)


See Also

CREATE SCREEN, ED, MODIFY COMMAND, SET FORMAT, VI


Description

MODIFY FILE provides the facility to create or modify text files. The filename can be substituted with a <expC>, enclosed in round brackets, which returns a valid filename. If no file extension is present in the file name, then '.txt' is used.

The default editors are: the 'vi' editor under UNIX and Linux; the 'edt' editor under VAX/VMS. You may override these defaults using the SET TEDIT TO command.


Example

modify file screen.fmt
