TE—Text Entry z/OS ISPF Edit and Edit Macros SC19-3621-00 |
|
The TE (text entry) line command provides one very long line wrapped around many lines of the display to allow power typing for text entry. The editor does the formatting for you. The TE line command is different from the I (insert) line command. The I command inserts a specified number of separate, blank lines as well as the mask, if there is one, as you typed it. With the TE command, the input data is formatted, only mask line characters outside the current boundaries are added to the formatted lines.

A new data set member called CHAP10 has been started and the TE command is typed in the line command field. Figure 1. Before the TE (Text Entry) line command
When you press Enter, the editor begins text entry mode. The cursor shows where text input begins and the vertical bar in the lower-right corner of the panel shows how much room you have to work with. See Figure 2. Figure 2. After the TE (Text Entry) line command
When you enter text, some of the words are split between lines, with part of the word at the right end of a line and the remainder of the word at the beginning of the next line. See Figure 3. Figure 3. Sample text during text entry mode
When you press Enter, the editor exits text entry mode. As shown in Figure 4, the text flows between the bounds settings and the line numbers are displayed in the line command field. Figure 4. Sample text after text entry mode
