z/OS V1R9.0 UNIX System Services Command ... - Christian Grothoff

[.] pu[t] [buffer]
Pastes deleted or yanked lines back into the file after the given line. If no
buffer name is given, the most recently changed buffer is used.
Because the edit command does not destroy buffers, you can send that
command in conjunction with put and yank to move text between files.
q[uit][!]
Exit from vi or ex. If the current file has been modified, an exclamation
mark (!) must be used or you cannot exit until you write the file.
[.] r[ead] [!][file]
Reads the contents of file and inserts them into the current file after the
given line number. If the line number is 0, the contents of the given file are
inserted at the beginning of the file being edited. If the current filename is
not set, a file must be given, and it becomes the current file name;
otherwise, if a file is given, it becomes the alternate file name. If the file
begins with an exclamation mark (!), then it is taken as a system
command. Pipes are used to read in the output from the command after the
given line number.
rec[over] file
Attempts to recover file if it was saved as the result of a preserve
command or a system or editor crash. If you do not specify file, this
command displays a list of all recoverable files.
rew[ind][!]
Rewinds the file argument list back to the beginning and starts editing the
first file in the list. If the current file has been modified, an exclamation mark
(!) must be specified; otherwise, you cannot leave the current file until you
have written it out. If autowrite is set, the current file is written out
automatically if it needs to be.
se[t] [parameter-list]
Assigns or displays the values of option variables, If you do not specify a
parameter list, set displays all the variables with values that have changed
since the editing session started. If the parameter all is specified, ex
displays all variables and their values. You can use the parameter list to set
or display each of many variable values. Each argument in the list is a
variable name; if it is a Boolean variable, the value is set on or off
depending on whether the name is prefixed by no. Non-Boolean variables
alone in an argument are a request to display their values. A Boolean
variable’s value can be displayed by following the name by a question mark
(?). You can set numeric or string variables with:
name=value
In a string variable, spaces must be preceded by a backslash. For example:
set readonly? noautowrite shell=/bin/sh
shows the value of the readonly flag, sets noautowrite, and sets the shell
to /bin/sh.
set report report=5
shows the value of the report variable, and then set the value to 5. See
“Set Option Variables” on page 779 for more details.
sh[ell] Invokes a child shell. The environment variable SHELL is used to find the
name of the shell to run.
