REXX/CICS Text Editor

REXX/CICS provides a general purpose CICS-based text editor, patterned after VM/CMS XEDIT.

The editor is provided so that execs and data can be created, updated, and viewed from within the CICS environment.

The REXX/CICS editor includes several prefix commands (for example: C, CC, M, MM, B, A, F, P) in common with the XEDIT editor. To use the editor, enter EDIT.

While in an editor session, commands entered on the command line can be chained by placing a ";" between each command. Support is also provided for macros written in REXX. This lets you customize editor settings with a profile exec, add new commands to the editor, or use the editor facilities as part of an application.

Note: The REXX/CICS Text Editor does not support binary files.
