Summary

The INITIALIZEEDIT procedure allocates the EDIT file segment (EFS) to be used by

IOEdit and initializes the data structures that it contains. If your program uses IOEdit,

this procedure is called automatically by the first IOEdit procedure that your program

calls. It is necessary to call INITIALIZEEDIT explicitly only when your program needs

to specify a value for one or more of its parameters.
