TABEDIT Performs editing operations on table data blocks
Edits an existing table data block according to user-input directives. String-formatted
records are generally not acceptable. Three types of editing operations are possible:
1. Delete, add, or replace entire records. New records come from the IFP module or
from user input.
2. Delete, add, or replace word strings to a specified record. New data come from
user input.
3. Merge-edit two records of fixed-length word groups such as would be generated
by IFP.
