Parameters

entity-name(N) Name of the entity involved in the relationship whose variable length attribute text is

relation-class-name Name of the relationship class.

Description

You cannot use the EDIT RELATIONSHIP command if input is from a ﬁle or you are executing in batch

mode. The EDIT command calls the EDIT/V subsystem, which performs the speciﬁed editing. (Refer to the

EDIT/V Reference Manual for details regarding this subsystem.) EDTXTxxx is the name of the temporary

text ﬁle used as the interface between the System Dictionary and EDIT/V. To perform the editing tasks,

you can use all but the following two EDIT/V subsystem commands: TEXT and KEEP. You cannot use the

TEXT command because EDTXTxxx is automatically used as the text ﬁle when entering the EDIT

command. You may not use the KEEP command for the same reason. When exiting the EDIT/V subsystem,

you are prompted with "PURGE OLD?”. If you respond "Yes" or "Y", an automatic KEEP is issued.

Otherwise, the original text remains unchanged and the new text is not kept. If you delete all lines, the

variable length attribute is deleted from the relationship.

Open Mode: Shared-update or exclusive-update

Scope: DA scope or any scope with create capability and modify access to the rela-

tionship

Example

description text for the relationship, Midwestern contains order.

>>RELATIONSHIP-TYPE = region, ﬁle;

>>ATTRIBUTE = description.
