Statement code X sets lines to overwritable so that they can be modified.
Statement code | Key |
X | [DUE] or [F2] |
The changes take effect in the record section displayed in the data window. The ranges to the left and right of the displayed section remain unchanged. However, when inserting items with [EFG] it should be remembered that parts of records that are pushed out over the righthand edge of the data window are lost. This can be avoided by using the statement code E for insertion.
The entire data window can be set to overwritable using [F2] (see section “The F keys”). Specifying @PAR EDIT-FULL=ON causes EDT to set all the lines to permanently overwritable.
Note
The special function record marks 14 and 15 (see section “Record marks”) are deleted when a record is modified. A record with record mark 15 can only be modified (overwritten) if the write protection set with mark 15 is ignored by specifying @PAR PROTECTION=OFF. Conversion to uppercase or lowercase using the statement codes U or L or the joining of lines with statement code J are not considered to be modifications. In these cases, the record marks are retained.
Example
Line 2.00 is selected for modification.
The line that is to be modified is set to overwritable. The Zip code is inserted before DISNEYLAND.
