Table 6-4. ED Error Symbols
Symbol Meaning
# Search failure. ED cannot find the string specified in a F, S, or N
command.
?c Unrecognized command letter c. ED does not recognize the indicated
command letter, or an E, H@ 0, or Q command is not alone
on its command line.
0 No. LIB file. ED did not find the LIB file specified in an R command.
> Buffer full. ED cannot put anymore characters in the memory buffer,
or string specified in an F, N, or S command is too long.
E Command aborted. A keystroke at the keyboard aborted command
execution.
F File error. Followed by either disk FULL or DIRECTORY FULL.
The following examples show how to recover from common editing error conditions.
For example
BREAK ">" AT A
means that ED filled the memory buffer before completing the execution of an A
command. When this occurs, the character pointer is at the end of the buffer and no
editing is possible. Use the OW command to write out half the buffer or use an 0 or
H command and reedit the file.
BREAK "*" AT F
means that ED reached the end of the memory buffer without matching the string in
an F command. At this point, the character pointer is at the end of the buffer. Move
the CP with a B or n: line number command to resume editing.
BREAK "F" AT F
DISK FULL
