RESET COMMAND
This command resets all the SYSDIC and DICT3000 parameters to the initial state. If a parameter has a
default value, the default value is assigned to it. If a parameter has no default value, the parameter value
becomes void (as represented by '***' in the SHOW command). System Dictionary and the Dictionary/V
dictionary are both closed.
MPE COMMANDS
MPE commands may be entered from within SDCONV but must begin with a ':'. They can be extended to
more than one line by attaching the line extender, '&' character, at the end of the line. However, unlike
other SDCONV multi-line commands, you should not attach the ending period.
COMMENT COMMAND
The COMMENT command lets you enter comments. It is a one line command. When the COMMENT
command is issued the line will simply be ignored.
REDO COMMAND
The REDO command allows you to correct errors or to modify a command previously issued. It applies to
the last command you entered whether it was syntactically incorrect or successfully executed. In order to
perform modification, move the cursor to the character which you wish to modify by repeatedly entering
the space character. This position will be referred to as the 'edit position.' You can perform a variety of
operations at the edit position; you may insert, delete, or replace the characters at the edit position. The
following subcommands are processed in the REDO mode:
A Appends characters at the end of the current line. If the text is too long to accommodate ad-
ditional characters, a warning message is issued and no append occurs.
B Breaks the line into two lines at the edit position. After the break, the second line becomes
the current line. The edit position is placed at the first character of the second line. This sub-
command is used when a line needs to be inserted.
E Exitsthe redomode. All the edits you have made within the REDO areannulled, and the com-
mand is not executed.
L Lists the edited command. The current line will be marked by an asterisk after the line num-
ber.
X Stops the redo mode and executes the edited command.
+[n] Moves n lines forward. '+' moves forward by one line.
-[n] Moves n lines backward. '-' moves backward by one line.
D Deletes the character at the edit position. If you wish to delete more than one character, ei-
ther repeat the D's, or mark the string you want to delete with the beginning D and ending
D with spaces embedded. If you delete all the characters in the line, the line itself is deleted.
I Inserts the characters following it at the edit position. This is the only subcommand that can
be issued following the D subcommand.
R Replaces the characters at the edit position with the characters following the R.
