EDIT—CKPOINT subcommand operand
- value
- specifies the intervals (number of line modifications or input
lines) at which a checkpoint is taken. You can use the value operand
in one of three ways:
- By specifying a decimal value from 1 to 9999 to be used as the checkpoint intervals.
- By specifying a decimal value of zero to terminate interval checkpointing.
- By not specifying a value, causing a checkpoint to be taken. This can be done even though you have already requested interval checkpointing. Checkpointing does not stop in this case, but continues after reaching the previously set interval value.
A line is considered modified if it is inserted, deleted, or changed. Issuing the CHANGE subcommand repeatedly and specifying the same line is equivalent to modifying the line once the CHANGE subcommand is executed.
