SET Options

EDITOR

SET EDITOR editorname

The EDITOR set option defines which text editor will be used with the EDIT command. The list of available editor names will vary by operating system but include text editors such as Notepad on Windows and VI on Unix.

Use the SET ? command to display the list of available editor names for the current operating system.

To specify an editor not in the list of available editors, pass the fully qualified path to the editor's executable file. The editor must be a text editor, not a word processor.

If this option is not set, ODXSQL will look for the EDITOR environment variable. If this environment variable is not set, ODXSQL will use defaults: Notepad on Windows, VI on Unix, Edit3000 on MPE, and EDT on VMS.
