Command List III
Commands DATA thru EXIT
Operation Notes
The EDITOR command starts the EDIT/3000 subsystem.
Use
This command may be issued from a session or job. It may not be used from a program
unless the user or the program has process handling (PH) capability. It may not be used
from BREAK. Pressing
Break suspends the execution of this command. Entering the
RESUME command continues the execution.
Example
To run EDIT/3000 during a session and specify a line printer (device class LP) as the list
device for offline output, enter:
FILE LISTFILE;DEV=LP
EDITOR *LISTFILE
Because the listfile is often a line printer, it is often defined with the FILE command
and backreferenced as in the preceding example.

Operation Notes

block. A logical expression is evaluated, and if true, the IF block is executed; if false, the
ELSE block (if one exists) is executed.
Use
This command may be issued from a session, job, program, or in BREAK. Pressing
Break
has no effect on this command.
