editor

The editor property specifies the program for user interaction with the data, but is meaningful only if you bind the field to a LOB variable. The property is a STRING type.

Specify the name of an executable found on the PATH or LIBPATH; alternatively, specify the fully qualified path of that executable. You can use the name of any editor (or other program) as long as the program accepts the name of a target file on its command line.

The default value for this property is the default editor for the platform, such as notepad.exe on Windows or vi on UNIX. You can update the property at run time.
