Change Existing Text

To change existing text, type over the existing text. If the display of existing text is longer than the screen, you can use the scroll commands or PF keys to move backward and forward through the display to locate the desired line of text. For more information, see PF and PA Keys.

You can also copy, repeat, and move text lines on the text maintenance panel. For more information, see Line Commands.

If the text was entered in columns 73 through 79, you can view and change the text in those columns only on a panel without the line numbers. Use the SET NONUM command to remove the line numbers. If the text was entered in column 80, you must use batch reports to view the text in that column and batch transactions to maintain the text in that column.
