sees additions that continue to make your job so much easier, and more
accurate.

Character force
There are times when you need to force a character string into a specific
location, regardless of the current contents. So scan & replace won't
do the job, but THE Editor's Choice will.

Incrementing/Decrementing
from & to columns
Imagine you have a data structure with over 50 sub-fields, and you need
to insert a field near the top. If it is old code, you have a lot of from
and to values to change, which means a high probability for error.
With THE Editor's Choice, you can simply tell it to add/subtract x to
a range of from/to locations. The job is done in a second, and you know
it's correct, so no corrupted data. What a relief.

Spell check
Do you maintain help text source? Even if you are both a good speller
and a good typist, mistakes can still creep in. If the Spelling Aid Dictionaries
program product is installed, you now have help writing help text that
is helpful.
|
| |
Continuous text
Another service to help the help text writer is being able to group a
number of statements, and present the text in a single paragraph to allow
for insertion and deletion. The text is then written back formatted to
fit the statement width.

RPG Column swap
You read a database record and MOVE all the fields to the screen counterparts.
When it comes time to update the file, you have to swap Factor 2 and the
Result field values. From now on, please allow THE Editor's Choice to
do it for you - it's even faster than using cut and paste on a PC 5250
session. (Factor 1 & 2 swaps are also supported)
