Description

To end an edit session by using END, either:
  • Enter END on the command line, or
  • Press a function key to which END is assigned. The default setting is F3
If no aliases have been defined for END, the editor's response to END depends on:
  • Whether changes were made to the data during your current edit session
  • If changes were made, whether SAVE was entered after the last change
  • The setting of number mode, autonum mode, stats mode, autolist mode, and autosave mode in the edit profile
  • Whether you were editing a member that was an alias of another member

For additional explanation, see Ending an edit session.

Examples

To end the current edit session:

  1. On the command line, type: 
    END
  2. Press Enter.
