TEDIT
NOTALUNDERSCORE
replaces each hyphen (-) with a circumflex (^) in DDL names for pTAL or TAL
output.
TEDIT
The TEDIT command:
•
Suspends compilation
•
Starts a PS Text Edit (TEDIT) process
•
Opens the specified file, executes the specified commands, and closes the file
•
Resumes compilation when the TEDIT process stops
You can use TEDIT only in an interactive DDL session.
edit-file-name
is the name of an EDIT file.
Default: The most recent edit-file-name specified in the current DDL
session, if any. If none, you are prompted for a file name.
edit-parameter
is a PS Text Edit command.
Default: The most recent edit-file-name specified in the current DDL
session, if any. If none, you are prompted for a PS Text Edit command.
Issuing the TEDIT command within a DDL session is like issuing the TEDIT command
from the command interpreter; the PS Text Edit session is the same, and you can use
all the same functions.
When you stop a PS Text Edit process by issuing the EXIT command, control returns
to the DDL compiler.
