Guardian Procedure Calls Reference Manual

start
input
INT(32):value
specifies 1000 times the line number of the first line of the new file. You supply this parameter
when you want the lines in the new file to be renumbered. If you omit start, renumbering
still occurs if increment is present, in which case the value of increment is used for start.
The possible EDIT line numbers are 0, 0.001, 0.002, ... 99999.999.
increment
input
INT(32):value
if present and greater than 0, causes COMPRESSEDIT to renumber the lines in the new file
using the incremental value specified. The possible EDIT line numbers are 0, 0.001, 0.002,
... 99999.999. The value of increment is 1000 times the value to be added to each
successive line number.
If increment is not supplied, the line numbers from the original file are used in the new file.
Returned Value
INT
A file-system error code that indicates the outcome of call.
Example
In the following example, COMPRESSEDIT copies the specified EDIT file into a new, compressed
file in which the line number of the first line is 1 and the line number increment is 1.
INT(32) start := 1000D;
INT(32) increment := 1000D;
.
.
err := COMPRESSEDIT ( filenumber, start, increment );
