**EDIT(** [, <;//size>// ] **)**

{{blk2blue.jpg|blk2blue.jpg}}

| **EDIT** | Specifies a single line TEXT control |
| //Size// | Any valid expression which must evaluate to an integer value. Optionally defines the maximum size of the string assigned to the template symbol |

The **EDIT** //type// in a #PROMPT statement indicates the prompt is used to specify a single line TEXT control. Actually, this type of prompt creates three 3 controls on the dialog:

- A prompt with text specified by the #PROMPT string

- A single line TEXT control

- A button to the right from the TEXT control. This button invokes the #GROUP specified in the WHENACCEPTED attribute. If the WHENACCEPTED attribute is omitted, the button is disabled.

The EDIT type keyword may also have an optional //size// parameter. It specifies the maximum size of the string which may be assigned to the #PROMPT symbol. If //size //is missing or its value is less than 2, the default value of 64000 is used.

If the **WHENACCEPTED** attribute is not present in the prompt definition, the EDIT button is disabled and the prompt operates just like a string prompt.

**Examples:**

| **#PROMPT('LIST Line Height:',****EDIT****),%InterLine,DEFAULT(0),WHENACCEPTED(%SVExpresionEditor(%InterLine))** |
| **#PROMPT('&amp;Passed Parameters',****EDIT(1024)****),%PassedParameters,WHENACCEPTED(%SVExpresionEditor(%PassedParameters))** |
