After entering FOCUS, to enter the TED environment and begin creating or editing files, issue the command

TED

at the FOCUS command prompt, followed by the name of the sequential file you want to edit or create. The naming conventions of the file vary with the operating system you are using.

For example, to edit a FOCEXEC in CMS, enter:

TED filename [FOCEXEC]

See CMS Guide to Operations, for more information.

In z/OS, enter:

TED FOCEXEC(member)

or

TED name 

See z/OS Guide to Operations, for more information.

You can also use TED to enter and edit fields with a text (TX) format. In this case, TED is entered in a MODIFY request (see the Maintaining Databases manual).
