SDVPD Commands
REDO COMMAND
REDO COMMAND
The REDO command allows you to correct errors or to make changes to the last command
you issued. When you issue the REDO command, you will enter an editing mode and the
first line of the command will be displayed for modification.
To modify the command, position the cursor using the space bar, under the character to be
modified and enter one of the subcommands listed below.
SDVPD interprets any character other than the ones listed below as a replacement
character. For example, if you type “MODIFY” below a character, since M is not a valid edit
command, “MODIFY” will replace the six characters on the line above.
Subcommand Description
A Appends one or more characters following the subcommand to the end of
the current line.
B Breaks the line into two lines, moving the character that is above the
cursor and all following characters to the next line. The second line
becomes the current edit line.
D Deletes the character above the D. If you repeat D, each character above
each D is deleted. You may also use a D below the first and last character
to be deleted with spaces in between.
E Exits the REDO editing mode without executing the edited command. The
command that you were editing when you entered E is still considered to
be the last one.
H Lists all available editing sub-commands in redo mode. Your current
editing line is then redisplayed.
I Inserts one or more characters immediately preceding the character that
is above the cursor. You can combine a DELETE and INSERT edit by using
D’s followed by an I and the characters to be inserted.
L Lists the complete command as it is currently edited and then redisplay
the line you are currently editing.
R Replaces the characters above the cursor with the new characters you
enter. The first character to be replaced is the one above the R.
X Executes the current command as it has been edited.
+n Places you on the next line of the command you are editing. You can enter
+ followed by a number n, for the number of lines you want to skip
forward. If no number is entered, the default is to move forward one line.
-n Places you on the previous line of the command you are editing. You can
enter followed by a number n, for the number of lines you want to skip
backward. If no number is entered, the default is to is to move backward
