FC Command The FC command edits the last command and allows the edited command to be
executed.
FC
Line Activity None.
Considerations The FC command lets you edit your last command. You can then execute the edited
command.
After you enter the FC command, your last command is displayed. On the line below,
a prompt (“.”) is displayed. You use the space bar to move the cursor under the part
of the command you want to edit. You then use the following editing characters to
edit the command.
D Deletes the character above the D. You can enter a string of Ds to
delete a string of characters. You can also follow a D with one of the
other editing characters. For example, DI deletes one character and
then inserts the characters following the I.
I Inserts the characters that follow the I into the command before the
character above the I. Any editing characters (other than //) that
follow the I are treated as characters to be inserted into the command.
For example, IDIAL inserts the characters DIAL. The D and the
second I are not treated as editing characters.
R Replaces characters in the command with the characters that follow
the R. The replacement starts with the character in the command
above the R. Any editing characters (other than //) that follow the R
replace characters in the command. For example, RDIAL
replaces four characters in the command with DIAL. The D and the I
are not treated as editing characters.
<RETURN> Updates or executes the command.
If you press the RETURN key after entering one or more characters
(other than //) in response to the FC command prompt (.), the edited
command is displayed on a new line and underneath it the FC
command prompt is displayed again. You can then continue editing
the command.
If you press the RETURN key in response to the FC command prompt
(.) without first entering anything else, the edited command is
submitted to the Exchange/RJE command interpreter for execution.
