Editing in CA Ideal

Issuing any CA Ideal EDIT command begins an editing session. The EDIT PROGRAM PROCEDURE or EDIT MEMBER command, for example, displays data in the region, with a scale line across the top of the region and a six‑digit sequence number and command field on the right‑hand side or left‑hand side, (see SET EDIT MARGIN) as shown below.
