Summary
The WRITEEDIT procedure accepts a line in unpacked format, converts it into EDIT packed line
format, and writes it to the specified file.
WRITEEDIT is an IOEdit procedure and can only be used with files that have been opened by
OPENEDIT or OPENEDIT_.
Syntax for C Programmers
NOTE: In the TNS/E environment, the CEXTDECS file uses the int data type for 32-bit values.
This is a change from the TNS and TNS/R environments where CEXTDECS uses the long data
type for 32-bit values.
