Insertion at predefined line number

Lines are inserted starting at the line number specified as an operand in the statement. The line numbers of the other lines that are to be inserted are determined by adding any increment specified as an operand in the statement to the line number of the last line to be inserted.

If no increment is specified in the statement then it is defined implicitly on the basis of the specified line number (see section “Implicit increment assignment”) using the same procedure as for implicitly defining the current increment on the basis of the current line number. Any lines with the same line numbers present in the target file are overwritten. The new current line number is formed from the line number of the last line plus the current increment if the line number of the last line has changed. Otherwise it remains unchanged.

The following table indicates the EDT statements for which this procedure is used (in the case of some EDT statements, other procedures may be used in the event of a different format or different operands).

Statement	Comments on operands	General comments
@COMPARE Format 1	If the LIST operand is not specified, output is sent to the screen; if LIST is specified without a line number then it is sent to SYSLST
@COPY Format 2	With target specification
@FSTAT	With target specification
@GETJV	With output to a line	Only one line is generated.
@GETVAR	With output to a line	Only one line is generated.
@MOVE	With target specification
@SHOW Format 1 +2	With target specification
@STAJV	With target specification
@STATUS	With target specification
@SYSTEM	With target specification
