LP

SET LP ON|OFF

(Initially: OFF)

All output from the List command is normally sent to $stdlist. When you turn Set LP to On, Dbedit opens the file Suprlist which defaults to the line printer. Turning Set

LP Off closes the SUPRLIST file and releases it to the spooler. Dbedit automatically closes the Suprlist file when you return to Suprtool.

Prompt

SET PROMPT char

(Initially: #)

Prompt tells Dbedit to use a different character for prompting. Any special character can be used as the prompt character. For example:

>edit

#set prompt %

%list m-customer

Quiet

SET QUIET ON|OFF

(Initially: OFF)

Turning this option On causes Dbedit to reduce the number of helpful messages that are printed and to shorten other messages.

Reset

SET RESET ON|OFF

(Initially: ON)

When you use the File, List, Modify, Change, or Delete commands you may override the default order that Dbedit uses to prompt for search fields (using the KEY=

option). With Reset On, Dbedit always resets the KEY= option to the default. With

Reset Off, Dbedit will continue to use the new order of search fields.
