Does anyone know if CODE/400 editor can be used to edit ascii text files 
used in the OS/400 PASE environment? PASE allows Unix applications to 
execute on AIX 4.3.3 inside the AS/400. Many of these Unix applications 
will access stream files from the IFS but these stream files have lines 
terminated with *LF versus *CRLF which is common to PC files. 

The native EDTF command is recommended for editting stream files in the 
green-screen environment BUT it has the usual green-screen limitations, 
similar to SEU. CODE would easily surpass EDTF if, and only if, it could 
be configured to output the right line termination characters. If this 
one of the options for CODE? I couldn't locate a way to do it but I know 
some of you CODE guru's have programmed it with REXX or JAVA to do many 
things. 

IBM Folks working in the PASE world have not used CODE/400 for editting 
and therefore couldn't answer this question. If any Toronto folks know 
the answer to this, or if there is a planned enhancement to CODE to allow 
it's use for editting UNIX (*LF terminated) files for the PASE 
environment, please advise. Thanks. RF
