Editing Rule Definitions in the IOA Edit Environment

Definition parameters can be edited (moved, copied, deleted, repeated) by performing IOA line editing commands, similar to standard ISPF line commands, from within the IOA Edit environment.

The Edit environment in a definition screen is accessed by typing EDIT in the COMMAND field and pressing Enter. The Vault Definition screen below illustrates a definition screen after the Edit environment has been accessed.

A 2-character Line Editing command field, marked by underscores, is displayed for each line on the screen.

Editing commands are typed directly onto these underscores.

Incorrectly specified line editing commands can be corrected by typing over them correctly. Line editing commands can be deleted by blanking them out or by specifying the RESET command in the COMMAND field.

Specified line editing commands are processed when Enter is pressed.

Control-M/Tape performs automatic syntax checking to ensure that the definition is still syntactically correct after editing. If an edit invalidates the definition, a message is displayed at the top of the screen and the edit is not performed. For guidelines and recommendations for editing definitions, see Maintaining Valid Definitions.

All operations available in a definition screen can be performed while in the Edit environment (for example, parameter values can be changed, the definition screen may be saved, and the screen exited).

To exit the Edit environment, re-type EDIT in the COMMAND field and press Enter. Line editing command fields are removed from the display.

Line editing commands can be performed on the following:
