FILE                                                        CMS EDIT subcommand

Use the FILE subcommand to write the edited file on disk and, optionally,
override the file identifier originally supplied in the EDIT command.  The
format of the FILE subcommand is:
+----------+------------------------------------------------------------------+
| FILE     | [fn [ft [fm]]]                                                   |
+----------+------------------------------------------------------------------+
where:

fn       is the filename for the file.  If filename is omitted, filetype and
         filemode cannot be specified, and the existing filename, filetype, and
         filemode are used.

ft       indicates the filetype for the file.

fm       indicates the filemode for the file.


Usage Notes:

1.  When you specify a file identifier, any existing file that has an identical
    fileid is replaced.  If the file being edited has been previously written
    to disk, that copy of the file is not altered.

2.  You can change the filename and filemode during the editing session using
    the FNAME and FMODE subcommands.

Responses:

The CMS ready message indicates that the file has been written to disk and
control is returned to the CMS environment.
