EDIT$–Fieldata Image Composition<br />

Editing Package<br />

EDIT$ is a unified collection of routines that may be used to compose strings of Fieldata<br />

characters in an area that you specify. EDIT$ may produce<br />

• Images for the printer and the punch<br />

• Symbiont control images<br />

• Control statements for CSF$<br />

EDIT$ has routines for editing decimal, octal, and floating point (single and double<br />

precision) as well as routines for copying character strings and adjusting column settings.<br />

Routines are also available for editing the time and the date. A versatile collection of<br />

Assembler procedures makes it easy to code for EDIT$.<br />

EDIT$ is reentrant and uses no D-bank storage. Working storage is provided by a 6-word<br />

packet (10 words if floating point is used) provided by the user. The format of this<br />

packet is given in 8.1.<br />

The EDIT$ editing package consists of four elements.<br />

• EDIT$–general-purpose editing routines<br />

• EDIT$T–time and date editing routines<br />

• EDIT$F–floating-point editing routines<br />

• EDIT$P–procedure calls for editing routines<br />

EDIT$ does not reference the other routines. However, both EDIT$T and EDIT$F require<br />

the services of EDIT$.<br />
