ING_EDIT
ING_EDIT specifies the default editor invoked by various editor commands. The default for the entire installation is set during the installation procedure. Users can also set this in their local environment.
Windows: You must set ING_EDIT to the full path name of the editor. For example:
c:\tools\vi.exe
UNIX:
/usr/ucb/vi
VMS: If undefined, the callable EDT editor is called. ING_EDIT can be defined to be:
+EDT
Calls the EDT editor.
+TPU
Calls the TPU editor.
+LSE
Calls the language sensitive editor.
The “+” symbol indicates that the callable version of the editor is to be used. This avoids creating a new subprocess in which to run the editor and results in much faster start up of the editor when called from a terminal monitor, ABF and other Ingres tools programs. Example:
DEFINE ING_EDIT "+TPU"
No qualifiers can be used. You must specify any non-default editor behavior in an editor startup file. For example, to use the Language Sensitive Editor in Fortran, define the following:
DEFINE ING_EDIT "+LSE" DEFINE LSE$COMMAND - "SYS$LOGIN:LSE_STARTUP.LSE"
