Super, You brought my x^% back to work

!Edit: ?
Enter one of the following
.B   to break a line into two pieces
.C   to change all occurrences of a string
.D   to display s specific range of lines
.F   to file the routine
.FX  to file the routine and exit the editor
.G   to get lines that were put into in a buffer (see .P)
.I   to insert additional lines (or use the TAB key)
.J   to join a line with the next one
.M   to move lines within the routine
.P   to put lines into a buffer (see .G)
.R   to remove one or more lines
.S   to search for all occurrences of a string
tag OR tag+offset  to edit a line
+n   to move down n lines and edit
-n   to move up n lines and edit
""+n to edit the nth line of the program
^globalref  to edit a value stored in a global node
any line of Cache ObjectScript source code, to execute it
     (but if you call another routine before filing this one,
     it will wipe out any edits you have made).
"." use decimal point to move character by character on the current line
" " use space bar to move from space to space on the line
"e" to enter characters, use "." and " " to move to entry point,
    then press "e".  To get out of entry mode, press <RETURN>.
"d" to delete the characters to the end of the word the cursor is on
Backspace: Depending on your terminal settings, backspace will either move 
           back character by character, or delete the character at the cursor.
Edit: 

VTL looks like age old first BASIC mixed with RPG-2
Who might need this with IRIS ????

probably the wrong direction ?

I hope this will not affect also community licensed versions !
What when the license expires?  Next version just might lock out. 
not amused
 

interesting solution.
string limits are always a pain.

A significant argument to delay migration from Caché for several months at least.

do get payed for the product placement ?
or raising click traffic?
