Support : Dialog Search Aids : Successful Searching : EDIT : RENUM

RENUM

Abbreviation: R
Command Format: RENUM <increment>
Availability: DialogClassic
DialogWeb—Command

You can renumber the lines in your search strategy in increments of 10 with the RENUM command. Use RENUM after you have moved text around, creating new line numbers and deleting others. RENUM does not renumber sets, so remember to use the CHANGE command to alter set numbers in your strategy.

You can also use RENUM to reset the increment by which lines are numbered. To renumber your lines in increments of 5 rather than 10, enter RENUM 5.

The new increments remain until you SAVE or QUIT from the online editor.

• To renumber the lines of your text:
