editob(3G)

NAME
     editob - opens an object definition for editing

FORTRAN 77 SPECIFICATION
     subroutine editob(obj)
     integer*4 obj

PARAMETERS
     obj   expects object identifier for object definition you want to edit.

DESCRIPTION
     editobj opens an object definition for editing.  The system maintains an
     editing pointer that initially points to the end of the definition.  The
     system appends all new routines at that pointer location until you call
     closeob or until you call a routine that repositions the editing pointer,
     such as objdel, objins, or objrep.

     Usually, you need not be concerned about memory allocation.  Objects grow
     and shrink automatically as routines are added and deleted.  (See
     chunks.)

     If you call editob for an undefined object identifier, the system
     displays an error message.

     This routine is available only in immediate mode.
