Types of Editing Allowed
When editing rules you can do any of the following:
Use the EXPAND command to display browsable information about rules, tables, fields, screens, reports, and routines.
After you edit your changes, syntax checking is performed when you attempt to save your rule using PF3 or the END or SAVE commands.
Syntax Checking Performed on a Rule
The syntax checker checks each rule for accuracy and displays appropriate error messages when corrections are necessary. A rule cannot be saved until it is syntactically correct. For detailed information on the syntax of rules, refer to Appendix A, Syntax of the Rules Language.
A rule that is syntactically correct could contain other kinds of errors, such as misspelled names or incorrect logic, which is detected only on execution. Refer to Chapter 16, Processing in Standard Execution Mode for more information.
Available Line Commands and Associated PF Keys
 
The initial screen contains the rules definition, the conditions, the actions and the exception handlers. If you issue a line command in the first line command field of the action section, it applies to the action section.
If the rule is longer than the screen that first appears, when you press PF8 the rules definition and a horizontal separator line between the definition and conditions of the rule appear, followed by the actions. After the screen is scrolled, the line command issued in the first line command field below the horizontal line is applied to the conditions section of the rule.
Available Primary Commands
The following commands are described in Using Available Primary Commands.
When used in conjunction with the CHANGE or FIND commands, find the next occurrence of the token.
When used in conjunction with the CHANGE command, change the next occurrence of the token. When used in conjunction with a FIND command, change the current token to a null value.
