Use EditPropagate to copy current session text characters from one column range to another for a specified group of lines.
EditPropagate may also be entered as EditProp[agate] or Prop[agate].
The group of lines can be specified by pre-selecting the lines (see Selection) or by using the FCT operand. If neither a pre-selection or FCT operand is provided, the group of lines consists solely of the current line.
Required Operands
SCOL is the column range in which the source text resides. Enter it in the format xxx-yyy where xxx and yyy are numbers between 1 and the session maximum line width. For example, SCOL=11-20 signifies columns 11 to 20. SCOL=5 is the same as SCOL=5-5, SCOL=5-* specifies columns 5 through the session maximum line width, and SCOL=-5 is the same as SCOL=1-5.
Optional Operands
DCOL is the destination column number. DCOL may range from 1 through the session maximum line width. DCOL may be within the column range specified by SCOL.
Default: cursor column.
FCT specifies the number of lines to update. If FCT is specified as asterisk (*), all lines through end of the session are updated.
Default: 1.
The text residing in the SCOL column range will be copied to the DCOL location.
Return Codes
OK Successful.
Examples
Copy text within the column range 17 to 24 to column 44 starting at the current line and proceeding through to the last line of the session:
