In the second example, a file named TESTFILE is copied into the work file, TESTFILE was previously
stored as a permanent file with the UNNumbered parameter. Because sequence numbers are essential as
references in editing, they are appended automatically for the user's convenience (1). The CHANGE
command is used on TESTFILE, and an execution message informs the user that all the changes have
been made (2).
Entering EXIT causes safety prompts to appear because, if the EXIT is executed without a preceding
KEEP command, the changes made to the work file would not be saved. When the prompts are answered
negatively, the command is cancelled (3). KEEP is then tried, and the safety prompts displayed (4). This
time the user indicates that the permanent copy of TESTFILE should be overwritten by the edited work
file. The user enters the EXIT command, and this time it is safe to exit since the changes were kept in a
permanent file first (5).
