EDIT—insert/replace/delete function operands
- line_number
- specifies the number of the line you want to insert, replace, or delete.
- *
- specifies you want to replace or delete the line at the location pointed to by the line pointer in the system. You can use the TOP, BOTTOM, UP, DOWN, and FIND subcommands to change the line pointer without modifying the data set you are editing.
- string
- specifies the sequence of characters you want to either insert into the data set or to replace an existing line. If this operand is omitted and a line exists at the specified location, the existing line is deleted. When the first character of string is a tab, no delimiter is required between this operand and the preceding operand. Only a single delimiter is recognized by the system. If you enter more than one delimiter, all except the first are considered to be input data.
