The insert/replace/delete function lets you insert, replace, or delete a line of data without specifying a subcommand name. To insert or replace a line, indicate the location and the new data. To delete a line, indicate the location. You can indicate the location by specifying a line number or an asterisk. The asterisk means that the location to be used is pointed to by the line pointer within the system. You can change the line pointer by using the UP, DOWN, TOP, BOTTOM, and FIND subcommands so that the proper line is referred to.
