Purpose

Execute a text editor to edit program files


Syntax

MODIFY COMMAND <prg filename> | (<expC>)


See Also

ED, SET TEDIT, TEXTEDIT(), VI


Description

MODIFY COMMAND provides the facility to create or modify program files and other 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 '.prg' 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 command.

MODIFY COMMAND is a synonym of the ED and VI commands.


Example

modify command myprogram
ed myprogram
vi myprogram
