For "ED" on UV we're each partially right, partially wrong.
IB<space><enter> puts you in input mode instead of inserting a blank
line like it should, like I<space><enter> does.
But IB<space><space><enter> , does insert a <space>. At some earlier
release it don't think it did. It did what IB<space><enter> should (but
doesn't) do.
I suppose you want to quibble of over "the finest of 70's technology", too.
How about "Better than EDLIN". We can probably agree on that.
Thank-you for the nit-picking. I feel cleaner already.

IB<space><space><enter> technically does not insert a blank line. It will
insert a line with a space at the beginning. You can verify this by doing
the following:
IB<space><space><enter>
A<space>X
You will notice that the "X" is indented by one space.
As others have noted, to actually insert a blank line with nothing in it
you would have to use the ` character as in:
IB<space>`
or
I<space>`
Kind of picky perhaps but in some cases the difference matters.

That's in input mode.
Here are some related ED facts about edit-mode that I've found Pickies
(vs. Primates) don't seem to know:
R<space> <enter> replaces current line with a blank line.
I<space>this is some text<enter>
will insert a line "this is some text"but leave yoiu in edit-mode, not
insert-mode.
IB will put you in input mode BEFORE the line you're on.
IB<space>this is a some text<enter>
will insert a line "this is some text" BEFORE the current line
but leave yoiu in edit-mode, not insert-mode.
There is a bit of an inconsistency with IB:
IB<space><space><enter>
Inserts a blank line BEFORE current line. I don't know why 2 spaces
are needed. Oh, well.
R<enter> repeats the previous full-line Replacement
C<enter> repeats the previous Change command.
R this is some text<enter>
replaces thw whole line.
R/ABC/XYZ
is really C/ABC/XYZ
So if you pickies are used to saying
R/ABC/XYZ/
That is really a Change command, C/ABC/XYZ.
So subsequent C<enter> will repeat your R/ABC/XYZ/
Finally, there is the actually helpful HELP<enter> command. (Check out
HELP SEQ<enter>.)
AE aficionados may quibble over the ED motto, "The very finest of 1970s
technology!"

A tip my original mentor taught me on the first day was that in ED/AE,
the back tick (`) gets treated as an empty line so you can keep going in
insert mode and not need to worry about it.

The dots were just there to keep the numbered list going, The same I
use dots in the Editor to enter blank lines. Later I go to the top and do
R/.//50 to remove the dot.

Just to make sure, you're wanting FIELD 178 and the first value of that
field. Correct? Because you have a length of 1, left justified I want to
make sure you're not looking for the first character of the 178th field.
Maybe if you showed what you're wanting and what you're getting,
instead, then we'd be sure to give you an answer that makes sense.

This is the only way to do accomplish the defined task in UniData.
Maybe "@RECORD<178,1>" is the preferred method in UV.

UniVerse.
I want to create a dictionary item that extract value <178,1>
I thought
1. I
2. EXTRACT(@RECORD,178,1,0)
3. .
4. .
5. 1L
6. S
Would do but it does not give me the desired result. Any suggestions?
