Auto Word Wrap The default setting is ON. Auto word wrap causes TEDIT to automatically
adjust the text to fit within the right margin of your text. If text exceeds the
align width, TEDIT moves words to the next line when you use the ALIGN,
BREAKLINE, REPLACE, RETRIEVE, DELETE EOL, and INSERT EOL
commands.
If the RETURN function key is ON and BREAKLINE is assigned to the
RETURN key, auto word wrap works whenever you end a line with
RETURN. But for auto word wrap to work, text must be beyond the align
width and the cursor must be beyond the last nonblank character.
Set auto word wrap OFF to eliminate word wrap. When the line width
exceeds 239 columns, TEDIT moves characters to the next line (this could
break a word in two parts).
Bal-Expr The Balanced-Expression option lists the two parts (open and close
delimiters) of the symbols or words that TEDIT recognizes as surrounding a
balanced-expression. The defaults are:
( ) [ ] { } " " < >
You can also use words as balanced-expressions. (For example, you can use
“BEGIN” for open and “END” for close.) Balanced-expression words are
limited to nine characters and can be any combination of letters, numbers,
or symbols. You must have a pair. For example:
Bal-Expr Open: BEGIN Close: END
Open: << Close: >>
See “BALANCED-EXPRESSION” in this section for more details.
Blank Fill This setting (ON or OFF) is only for the IBM 3270 Information Display
terminals. The default is ON.
ON sets all ending blanks in the display fields to blanks. Thus, you cannot
use the keyboard INSERT mode to insert text unless you delete the blanks.
