Line Edit commands can be used to edit lines in your report requests, batch and hold files, or customized compendium reports. Things to note:
-
The character n denotes the number of times you want the operation to occur.
-
The block commands (CC, DD, MM, RR) must be used in sets to mark the start and end of each block.
-
The position commands (A, B) must be used in conjunction with C (copy) and M (move) to indicate where the lines should be inserted.
