NET/MASTER Management Services (MS) Command Reference Manual

EDIT
NonStop NET/MASTER MS Commands
2–76 115412 Tandem Computers Incorporated
EDIT The EDIT command invokes Edit Services. You can use Edit Services to create and
modify NCL procedures and panel description files. Entering the EDIT command
with no operands is an alternative method of invoking Edit Services; that is, it allows
you to invoke Edit Services from OCS rather than the NonStop NET/MASTER MS
primary menu. After invoking Edit Services, the Edit Services selection list screen is
displayed.
Access to Edit Services is authorized by User ID Management Services (UMS). If you
do not have access to Edit Services, NonStop NET/MASTER MS returns an error
message if you attempt to use this command.
EDIT [ file-spec ]
file-spec :
[ [ $ volume . ] subvolume . ] file-name
file-spec
specifies the name of the file to edit.
Edit Services looks for the file in your user procedure library. Edit Services
creates a file using the name you specify if it does not exist; otherwise, if it exists, it
opens the file.
Considerations
The default authority level of this command is 0.
You can enter this command from any NCL procedure, except the INIT NCL
procedure, by using either the CMD core statement or the INTCMD verb.
If you use this command from OCS to select Edit Services, NonStop
NET/MASTER MS returns you to OCS when you exit from Edit Services. If the
command is executed from an NCL process, control returns to the NCL process
after Edit Services is exited.
If you enter this command from OCS, the Guardian user ID (GUID) assigned to
the file(s) you create is the GUID you have in the OCS window from which you
enter the command.
If you create an NCL procedure in Edit Services, you can check the syntax in Edit
Services before you attempt to execute the NCL procedure from OCS.
If you create a panel description file in Edit Services, you can test the panel before
you execute an NCL procedure from OCS that displays it.
