Generally.

In order for ISO6976 to read the component data file (Data6976) it needs to be in the ISO6976 directory itself, or somewhere on the route to HOME or in memory ports 0,1,2,3 in that order. All editing functions will read along this route to find Data6976. If you edit the data then the edited data will be stored in the local Edit sub-directory which is not accessible by the main ISO6976 programmes. If you then re-edit the data you will then use this 'local' copy. So you can edit it until you are happy with it and then move it to the search path using Filer.

If you have system flag -91 set (MTRW: list of lists) then you can use this to do simple edits of Data6976. The preferred, though rather slower, method is to use the editing suite described below.

The Edit Menu.

The Edit menu contains four entries. These are :

Key Action
Edit Used to display and edit an individual component's data.
First you select the component (CANCL exits) then the datum to edit from a CHOOSE list
(CANCL exits to the component picker) and then edit the datum.
Delet Used to delete a component from the database.
The deleted component's data record will be left in stack 1.
Inser Inserts the component record in stack 1 into the database.
ISO69 Returns to the main menu.
