This exit point marks the start of a valid, user-entered EDIT primary command. The exit routine is given control immediately before the command is performed. All edit macro statements (such as ISREDIT SAVE) are processed as if they were primary commands. Individual edit macro statements executed from within the edit macro optionally invoke the exit routine. A field in the configuration table determines whether the activity monitoring exit is invoked at the start and stop of each edit macro command. If an alias has been defined for the command (via the DEFINE command of EDIT), and if the alias name is specified, the actual command that is invoked is passed to the exit.
