Hi Shanmukh,
Do you really mean ED?
The ED command in Unidata starts the underlying operating system editor. By
default, this is vi on Linux and the MS-DOS editor on
Windows. So, to answer your question, we need to know which system your are on.
I have encountered many users who amend their
If you are trying to use ED or AE in Universe or Unidata these are line by
line editors. If someone is new to U2 then this is a bad move to try and
teach them something so archaic.
Move into the modern ages using Eclipse IDE from either Rocket Software or
U2logic. Rocket Software offering is

I totally disagree! Yes, once you get used to a GUI editor, ED/AE can be
tough, but it has it's merits too.
One, it's quick - it's ALWAYS available.
Would you honestly invoke a GUI editor to make a quick change to a VOC entry?
It's a tool of the trade - it needs to be a required learn
I've been doing Eclipse IDE a lot longer than everybody else. I'm not
bragging here: U2logic was the first with an editor that ran within Eclipse
IDE for Universe and Unidata in 2004.
I would have to save that I have updated many VOC items from XLr8Editor
Eclipse. But that is not really point I
Aw, George, Doug is always pushing his product. :-) Remember, if all you
have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail.
I'm not disparaging Doug's product - I've never even seen it - but in 35
years, I've never needed it.
BTW, I agree with you 100%. I use the line editor when it's the best
My 2 Cents: I love a GUI editor, but I've been using Pick/U2 since '82 and
grew up with ED. It's still a very fast, very effective way to check
records and make quick changes.

The ED/AE editor has excellent inline documentation, type HELP at the editor
prompt, and start exploring.
As others have said, if you're using AE to edit programs, you're probably doing
it wrong. I love using it with prestores to do bulk updates of data (let's see
eclipse do that, Doug!),
