File Definitions
EDIT/3000 uses seven files: INPUT, OUTPUT, WORK, TEXT, JOIN, HOLD, and
USE. Each file is described below.
INPUT Used to enter commands and text records to
EDIT/3000. Generally, this file is a terminal in
interactive mode and a batch input device in batch
mode. EDITIN is the formal file designator.
OUTPUT Receives messages (and prompt characters in
interactive sessions). Generally this file is a
terminal in interactive mode and a line printer in
batch mode. EDITOUT is the formal file designator.
WORK Contains the information to be modified. When a
file is created and text is added, or when an
external file is copied into the EDIT/3000
subsystem for modification, the text is written
into the WORK file and all modifications are
performed on it. The WORK file may be saved under
a new file name or to an existing file.
TEXT An existing ASCII file copied into the WORK file
with the TEXT command.
JOIN All or a portion of an external file which is
copied into the WORK file with the JOIN command.
The information can be inserted into the WORK file
at any point. The contents of the existing JOIN
file are not altered by the JOIN command.
HOLD A temporary file that is generally used for holding
interim information.
USE An external user file containing EDIT/3000 commands
and, optionally, text records which is called with
a USE command. When a USE command is issued, all
commands are read from the USE file and any
EDIT/3000 messages are sent to the OUTPUT file.
