This screen is presented by the SEU (edit source) utility. SEU is provided by IBM and is used to create and manipulate source or text.

SEU is very widely used by IBM i programmers and other users.  If you are unfamiliar with the features and functions of SEU refer to the IBM supplied reference manual.

In addition, SEU has online HELP facilities. Once you have started to use SEU press the HELP key and review the extensive HELP text available.

By using SEU the HELP text associated with the field can be reviewed, created or changed. All the features of SEU are available and can be used.

If SEU is not available on your IBM i machine, the help text will be edited by EDTF. Refer to help on this command for features. On exit from the EDTF you will be asked if you wish any changes made to the LANSA help text to be copied to the LANSA files.
