EDT parameter settings

The following statements are used to modify the predefined EDT parameter settings and thus enable users to largely adapt the behavior and appearance of EDT to their own requirements.

@:	Defines a new statement symbol.	F mode L mode
@AUTOSAVE	Activates the automatic time-controlled saving of work files.	F mode L mode
@BLOCK @BK	Activates or deactivates EDT's blocked input/output mode (BLOCK mode).	F mode L mode
@CHECK (Format 1)	Activates the logging of all lines that are created or modified in a work file or a string variable by a statement. It also makes it possible to check the number of characters per line.	F mode L mode
@CHECK (Format 2)	Causes EDT to check whether the specified range in the current work file or range of string variables can be converted into the target character set without loss.	F mode L mode
@CODE	This statement is only supported in compatibility mode.	F mode L mode
@CODENAME (Format 1)	Defines the character sets for work files and string variables.	F mode L mode
@CODENAME (Format 2)	Specifies the communications character set which EDT uses in interactive mode in order to exchange data with the terminal.	F mode L mode
@DELIMIT	Declares characters that act as delimiters when searches are performed with @ON.	F mode L mode
@INPUT (Format 3)	Specifies how EDT is to interpret text input in L mode.	L mode
@LOWER	Specifies whether or not EDT converts lowercase characters into uppercase when data and statements are input at the terminal.	F mode L mode
@P-KEYS	Loads the keyboard's programmable keys (P keys) with a default assignment predefined by EDT or displays the EDT predefined default assignment.	F mode L mode
@PAR	Specifies the EDT parameter settings. These settings control the screen display, behavior on input, default values for statements and the declaration of special meanings for certain characters.	F mode L mode
@QUOTE @QE	Redefines the delimiter characters apostrophe and quotation mark.	F mode L mode
@RANGE	Declares a symbol for a line range.	F mode L mode
@SEARCH- OPTION	Makes presettings for searches using the @ON statement.	F mode L mode
@SETSW	User and job switches are set or reset.	F mode L mode
@SYMBOLS	Declares the wildcard symbols asterisk and slash for searches using placeholders. The FILLER operand declares a filler character.	F mode L mode
@SYNTAX	Defines the type of syntax check for input in L mode. It is also possible to activate or deactivate the test mode.	F mode L mode
@TABS (Format 1)	Tabulator positions are defined for positioning with the hardware tabulator and the current values of these positions are output.	F mode L mode
@TABS (Format 2)	Tabulator characters and tabulator positions are defined for positioning with software tabulators and the current values are output.	F mode L mode
@VDT	The screen format for F mode is set. The function no longer has any function in L mode and is supported for reasons of compatibility only.	F mode L mode
@VTCSET	On output to SYSOUT, specifies whether the line mode control characters which may be present in the lines of data that are to be output are transferred unchanged or are converted into smudge characters.	F mode L mode
@EDIT (Format 2)	In the interactive mode's L mode, this switches the input stream to terminal input. WRTRD is used for reading and the current line number is output as the prompt. If the statement is entered in F mode, operation first switches to L mode.	F mode L mode
@EDIT (Format 3)	In the interactive mode's L mode, this switches the input stream to input from SYSDTA. Reading is performed with RDATA. If the statement is entered in F mode, operation first switches to L mode.	F mode L mode
@EDIT (Format 4)	In F mode, switches between the full display of records and the display of a record section in the data window for the current work file.	F mode
@HEX	Activates or deactivates hexadecimal mode for the current work file.	F mode
@INDEX	In F mode, activates or deactivates the line number display for the current work file in the relevant data window.	F mode
@SCALE	In F mode, activates or deactivates the display of a column counter (horizontal ruler) for the current work file in the work window.	F mode
@SPLIT	In F mode, activates or deactivates the display of a second work window on the screen.	F mode
@ZERO- RECORDS	This statement is now only supported in compatibility mode.	F mode L mode
