Comments
EDIT-LIST uses the same line Editor commands as you use to edit data items.
Creating an Item List Using English
You can create an item list by executing a SELECT or SSELECT on a file, then saving the generated item list by executing SAVE-LIST. For example:
:SSELECT MD WITH 1 "PQN" 35 Items selected. >SAVE-LIST NEWPROC.LIST [241]'NEWPROC.LIST' cataloged. :EDIT-LIST NEWPROC.LIST Top .L4 001 BREF 002 CHECK 003 CHOO-CHOO 004 CLS
Creating an Item List Using EDIT-LIST
Item lists can also be created from the Editor by using the
:EDIT-LIST ROOMS-AVAIL
New item

You can now use editor commands to change the list.
