Parameter Definition

line Denotes when you must specify a line number.

There are 3 possible entries that you can make
using this parameter:

1. Enter a decimal integer from 1-65529. If you
specify a number greater than the number of
lines in memory, the line is added after the
last line.

Line numbers must be separated from each other
by a comma or space.

OR

2. Enter a hash sign (#) to specify the line after
the last line in memory. Entering a # has the
same effect as specifying a number greater than
the number of lines in memory.

OR

3. Enter a period (.) to specify the current line.

The current line indicates the location of the
last change to the file, but it is not necessa-
rily the last line displayed. The current line
is marked by an asterisk (*) between the line
number and the first character of text in the
line. For example:

10:*First character of text
