File ID: Enter the name of the file to be edited or created. A
PC file ID can be a maximum of 12 characters (8 characters for
the name, 1 for the period, and 3 for the extension). Path
directories are not allowed. An ESS file ID can be a maximum of
10 characters (6 characters for the name, 1 for the period, and 3
for the extension).
If you enter a file ID that does not exist on the specified source
device, a new file confirmation window opens with the following
options.
Yes: Creates a new file and opens it for editing.
No: Cancels the operation.
If you do not specify a File ID, a message prompts you to enter a
file name. The Open/Edit Window will not open unless a File ID
is specified.
List Files: (menu field) Enter the name of the file or group of
files you want displayed. Masking is allowed.
The user must be careful when managing controller files on the
PC UI. The controller file structure is record-oriented and
information about the file's structure is maintained within the
controller operating system. The controller file naming
convention signifies the type and structure of the file to the
System UI Software. In order to access these files on the PC UI
and to correctly transfer the file back to the controller with the
correct file type and record size, it is necessary for the user to be
aware of certain operational procedures. Please note that these
guidelines do not apply to files residing only on the PC or
intended for non controller processing.
• Do not mix the types of editors being used.
The LPS line editor (provided by the controller EDI task)
performs the edit of the file on the controller disk. The PC
Editor performs the edit of the file on the PC hard disk or PC
floppy.
If a file is retrieved from the controller and then edited using
the LPS line editor, any changes are made to the file residing
on the controller disk, not to the retrieved file on the PC
disk.
• Use the PC Editor options to edit an controller file.
