Purpose
Execute a text editor to edit program files
Syntax
VI <prg filename> | (<expC>)
See Also
ED, MODIFY COMMAND, TEXTEDIT()
Description
VI 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 TO command.
VI is a synonym of the MODIFY COMMAND and ED commands.
Example
modify command myprogram ed myprogram vi myprogram
