number command

Use the number command to add sequence numbers to the file and activate number mode.

Syntax

  number [seqnumType]
  num    [seqnumType]

seqnumType

Use the parameter seqnumType to activate or deactivate number mode. Specify one of the following values:

cob activates number mode for sequence numbers in columns 1 to 6. The activated number mode for sequence numbers created with on moves to columns 73 to 80.
on is the default and activates number mode for sequence numbers in columns 1 to 6.
off deactivates number mode. Sequence numbers are not removed from the file.
std is equivalent to on.

The status parameter is not affected by this command.

LPEX automatically ensures, throughout the edit session, that every line has a valid sequence number.
Sequence numbers are displayed only in the prefix area, and cannot be edited by the user.
Sequence numbers are excluded from text searches (but they can be searched with the locate command).
Line commands that operate on existing sequence numbers, such as resequence, are enabled.
When resequencing, sequence numbers in columns 1 to 6 are resequenced, but sequence numbers in columns 73 to 80 remain.
