Leaving the Editor

After completing the editing tasks wanted, the editor must be exited and changes saved, if wanted. To save changes, the editor must be told to retain the updates, and the updated EWF data must be transferred back to the active area. To cancel the changes, the editor must be told to release the EWF and not transfer data back to the active area.

For the CA WA CA 7 Edition environment, the subcommands to leave the editor and save the changes are SAVE, SS (SAVE-SAVE), and SR (SAVE-REPLACE). The subcommand to leave the editor without retaining EWF changes is EXIT.

For the TSO/ISPF environment, ISPF edit macros are provided. They correspond to required CA 7 editor subcommands. Also, when the editor is invoked, a default subcommand is set. If cancel the changes, request the CA7EXIT subcommand.
