Editing Programs On Line
Chapter 5
5-15
You can merge a complete part program within another part program while
one of the programs is in the edit mode. To merge part programs, follow
these steps:
1.
Use the up, down, left and right cursor keys to move the block cursor
to the location in the program display area just past the location in the
program where you want to insert another program. The control
inserts the merged program to the left of the cursor. Each end of the
block statement creates a new line.
2.
Press the continue softkey {
→
} to change the softkey functions.
3.
Press the
{MERGE PRGRAM}
softkey. The prompt “MERGE
PRGRAM:” appears on the input line of the screen.

When you are editing a program, all changes and additions that you make
are saved immediately in the control’s memory. There is no formal “save”
command to be executed.
You cannot “quit,” “abandon,” or “abort” an edit session and restore the
original version of a program you have been editing. For that reason, it is
good practice to copy a program (see page 5-41) prior to editing if there is
a chance the original version is needed.
