APPLY

The APPLY command updates the screen and work file without executing the statements in the OCF work file or executing the compiler. This command is useful for reviewing edits before executing the statements in the OCF work file or submitting the work file to the compiler. An example of APPLY command usage follows:

1. Type INSERT. The text editor displays one line of existing text at the top of the I/O area, leaving the remainder of the area blank for entry of new lines.
2. Enter new lines of text.
3. Issue the APPLY command to add your new lines to the existing lines in the file. This allows you to review the file before executing the statements in the OCF work file or executing the compiler.
4. Make necessary corrections and issue the UPDATE command to execute the statements in the OCF work file or submit the work file to the compiler.
