Invoking the Editor

Any of the following methods can invoke the editor:

• Using the top line EDIT command.
• Using the EDIT or FE (Fetch and Edit) functions from database maintenance or queue maintenance panels or commands.

These functions cause the transfer of data from the active area to an edit work file, as described previously. Next, they engage the editor programs for the appropriate environment.
