Hi

This is my problem. Firstly I have a program file called PROGFILE and a
pointer-file called PF. I
do the following "ED PF XXX" do my change to xxx then FI out of it. My
changes dissappears and in my program file (PROGFILE) the first line if I
"ED PF PROGFILE" is the program name( in this case xxx). And the program xxx
has not been changed.

Has anyone encountered this.

REGARDS

D3 is case insensitive, which means X is the same as x. When you make your
change, the system sees nothing difference and thinks no change has been
made.

There are two way to handle this:

1) change XXX to YYY, file, edit, change YYY to xxx

2) use CASE-ON, make your change, use CASE-OFF

I hope this helps.

Apologies. Maybe I wasn't clear enough. XXX in m e-mail is XXX uppercase
always.

Mario,

Are you doing a merge "ME" command somewhere in your editor session to
merge lines from another record or file? I have noticed this phenomena
when doing multiple merges in a session without filing in between
merges. For some reason the item name will change to the filename as
you have described and your original item remains unmodified. It
doesn't always do it but often enough that I've gotten into the habit
of doing a "f" followed by a "?" after every merge to see if it has lost
it's mind or not.

Don't have a fix for it, I've just learned to watch for it.

Hope this helps.
