PARAMETERS

filename

A file name for which PMDF file to edit. This may be either a PMDF symbolic file name, e.g., PMDF_CONFIG_FILE, PMDF_TABLE:PMDF.CNF, etc., or a normal Windows file specification, e.g., C:\pmdf\table\pmdf.cnf.

printer

A Windows printer specification, e.g., \\bettyo\monster.

DESCRIPTION

The pmdf edit command launches a document editor similar to the Windows Notepad application. Unlike Notepad, however, pmdf edit is geared towards editing PMDF configuration files:

• Allows multiple files to be edited simultaneously.
• File Open and Save As operations default to the PMDF table directory.
• Has printing features oriented towards printing configuration files (line number display, automatic line wrapping, etc.).

  The pmdf edit application is the executable \pmdf\bin\cedit.exe and may be launched from the desktop by double-clicking on the executable or by double-clicking on a .cnf file associated with the application. (This association will not exist until the application has been run once.)
