I suppose one reason you might want to use REVED (the alias of REVIEW which makes the default action edit instead of browse) is if the data being edited is too big to fit in your region.
REVED will hold the data being edited in a data space which can grow to 2GB in size subject to local limits (both physical resources and locally customized settings). Admittedly you could logon with REGION=0M if you are allowed and get 2GB - common - high_private - (loaded_programs + program_data) minus anything else I forgot. When editing such large files, UNDO and REDO cannot be used, and response time for commands like FIND ALL may not be sub-second. Let's hope that we don't have to edit files that big... :) Cheers, Greg ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
