TIMESTAMP
You must close any source code file before editing it. For instance, if you have opened
a COBOL source code file and entered some text in it, and then you want to view the
source code file with the text editor, you must issue the NOCOBOL command before
you issue the TEDIT command.
When you specify edit-file-name in the TEDIT command, the DDL compiler
passes that name to the current PS Text Edit process and also stores the name. If you
omit edit-file-name from the next TEDIT command in the same session, the DDL
compiler passes the stored name to the new PS Text Edit process.
When you specify edit-parameter in the TEDIT command, the DDL compiler
passes that parameter to the PS Text Edit process. The DDL compiler also stores the
parameter.
If you omit edit-file-name from the next TEDIT command, the DDL compiler
passes any parameter saved from the last TEDIT or EDIT command to the new PS
Text Edit process.
If you specify edit-file-name in the next TEDIT command, the DDL compiler
discards any previously stored parameter.

source code listings.
