issued within a terminal session.
SQL supports a variety editors, some of which are:
o EDT
o DEC Text Processing Utility (DECTPU) editors on OpenVMS, such
as EVE
o Language-Sensitive Editor (LSE) on OpenVMS, which is based
on DECTPU and provides templates that guide you in entering
syntactically correct statements
To invoke an editor other than the default, you must define the
SQL$EDIT logical name.
You can use the editor you choose with your usual initialization
file to modify your previous SQL statements, construct your next
statement or group of statements, or include a file with other
statements.
