 CA-7’s Text Editor is used to modify Prose and JCL member. When entering the Text Editor, you will see a screen that looks something like this.

The cursor is positioned under the ‘P’ in PF. PF is a command which stands for ‘Page Forward’. This command can be changed to:

PB – for Page Background TOP – go to the TOP

HF – for Half Page Forward BOT – go to the Bottom

HB – for Half Page Backward

When the ‘ENTER’ key is pressed, CA-7 will carry out whatever command is displayed.

To copy or move lines, the command formats are:

COPY a,s,e,n and MOVE a,s,e,n       Where

a=After which line do you want the information copied or moved

s=The starting line of information you want  copied  or moved

e=The ending line of information you want copied or moved

n=The number of times you want the information copied or moved. (The default is 1 time)

To insert lines, move the cursor to the line sequence number where you want the line(s) inserted. Enter ‘In_’ ,where ‘n’ is the number of lines to be inserted. SPECIAL NOTE:

When inserting lines, the command must be followed by a blank, or CA-7 will pick up the rest of the sequence number as part of the command.

To delete lines, you may use the ‘D’ or ‘DD’ functions.

NOTE: Once you press ‘ENTER’ when specifying the ‘DD’ function, CA-7 will delete from the first ‘DD’ to the second ‘DD’ or to the end of the current screen display, whichever comes first.
