DUPLICAT
Purpose
Use the DUPLICAT subcommand to duplicate one or more lines, starting with the current line, for a specified number of times. The new line(s) is inserted immediately after the original line(s).
Operands
- n
- specifies the number of times the line(s) is to be duplicated. If n is not specified, the current line is duplicated once.
- target
- defines the number of lines
to be duplicated. Duplication starts with the current line and continues up to but does not include
the target line. If target is not specified, only the current line is
duplicated.
You can specify a target as an absolute line number, a relative displacement from the current line, a line name, or a string expression. For more information on targets, see LOCATE and z/VM: XEDIT User's Guide.
Responses
The last line duplicated becomes the new current line.
