The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Mail Gateway to IBM PROFS and OfficeVision, version 3.2

XEDIT is the standard file editing program available to VM/CMS users on the mainframe. It is spawned by many of the Microsoft Mail Host Access component programs, and the VM administrator can also use it to edit configuration files manually.

To edit a file with XEDIT, type:

   XEDIT <fn> <ft> <fm>

where <fn> is the filename, <ft> is the file type, and <fm> is the file mode. For example, to edit the file PWANODES DATA on the gateway's 191 A disk, you would type the following, then press ENTER:

   XEDIT PWANODES DATA A

When XEDIT opens the file, a list of the PF key commands is displayed at the bottom of the screen. To get further help for the XEDIT program, type HELP XEDIT at the CMS prompt.
