Selecting a Text Editor
You can specify any editor available on your computer system with the ING_EDIT option. This feature is valuable if you must edit frames and procedures called by your application and use a different editor. To use a text editor other than the default, you must redefine the ING_EDIT option before you start ABF.
Windows: For example, to define the text editor as "edit":
set ING_EDIT=edit
The default text editor is notepad unless your system administrator has set a different system-wide default when installing Ingres.
Linux: For example, to define the text editor as "vi":
setenv ING_EDIT /usr/ucb/vi
The default text editor is "ed," unless your system administrator has set a different system-wide default when installing Ingres.
The callable editor names do not take any qualifiers. Specify any non-default editor behavior in editor startup files.
For example, to use the Language Sensitive Editor in Fortran:
$ DEFINE ING_EDIT "LSE/LANGUAGE=FORTRAN"
To use the callable version of the Language Sensitive Editor:
$ DEFINE ING_EDIT "+LSE"
$ DEFINE LSE$COMMAND "SYS$LOGIN:LSE_STARTUP.LSE"
In the previous example, SYS$LOGIN:LSE_STARTUP.LSE includes the command "SET LANGUAGE FORTRAN."
The default text editor is "EDT."
