If a modified line is too long, the MODIFY command displays the

following:

* The line, except characters beyond the maximum line length.

* An asterisk (*) in the last column (the asterisk is character 500).

To cancel modifications on a line, type "//" or CONTROL Y. The original

line will be displayed for modification.

To stop the MODIFY command, type "//" or CONTROL Y before modifying the

currently displayed line, or type "//" or CONTROL Y immediately followed

by "//" or CONTROL Y.

Examples

The following examples show the use of the MODIFY command. Lines 30,40,

50, and lines 100 through 180 are modified. "//" is used to cancel the

modification of line 150.
