FC Command The FC command lets you edit the most recent command and enables the edited

command to be executed.

Considerations The FC command lets you edit your most recent command. You can then execute the

edited command.

After you enter the FC command and press RETURN, your last command is

displayed. On the line below, a prompt (“.”) is displayed. 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 in 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.

If you enter any characters other than the editing characters, the

characters you enter replace the corresponding characters in the

command. All nonediting characters perform an implicit replace

operation.

<RETURN> Lets you edit the command again or causes the edited command to be

executed.

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/SNA command interpreter for execution.
