tcl.edit-list

Verb: Access/TCL, Releases: AP and R83

Edits saved list using line editor.

Syntax

edit-list {file.reference} {itemlist*} {(options)}

Description

retrieves a previously saved list and enters the line editor (same as 'ed' or 'edit').

Each element in the list is treated as a line by the line editor; all of the line editor edit commands are valid.

If no file.reference is given, the list is retrieved from 'pointer-file'.

If itemlist* is not specified, the default list item will be updated: %user, where user is the user-id.

See the 'el' command for using the Update processor to update saved lists.

Options


a Activates the assembly formatter. Equivalent to the 'as' editor command.

d Allows editing a 'd-pointer'.

m Activates the macro expansion function. Equivalent to the 'm' editor command.

p Directs the output to the system printer, via the spooler.

s Suppresses the display of line numbers, in normal edit mode, or suppresses object code display when the assembly formatter is 'on'. Equivalent to the 's' editor command.

z Suppresses the 'top' and eoi' messages.

Example

edit-list invoices.past.due

edit-list dict customers cust.list

edit-list
