Line Edit Commands

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.
