Description
You cannot use the EDIT REPORT 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 EDTXT 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. When a keep is being processed, if the
definition of the report was being changed, it is parsed and any error found reported. If you delete all lines
of the description, the description is deleted from the report. If you delete all lines of the definition, the
stored report itself is deleted from the dictionary.
Open Mode: Shared-update or exclusive-update
Scope: DA scope or the report's owner scope
Example
The following example modifies the output spacing of the report named image-database-report from page
