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
