The editobj subroutine opens a display list for editing. The system initializes an editing pointer to the end of the newly opened object. It appends all new routines at that pointer location until there is a call to the closeobj subroutine or to one that repositions the editing pointer, such as the objdelete , objinsert , or objreplace subroutines. Usually it is not necessary to be concerned about memory allocation.
Objects grow and shrink automatically as routines are added and deleted.
A call for an undefined object identifier causes the system to display an error message. Parameter object Specifies identifier for object definition to edit.
