Results
The result of this action depends on the target editor:
- If the target editor is another Eclipse-based editor, then the
target editor opens and selects and shows the same text that was selected
in the original editor. The original editor remains open.
- If the target editor is the System z® LPEX Editor, Remote Systems LPEX Editor, or base LPEX Editor,
then the result depends on the status of the open file:
- If the original editor has unsaved changes, you are prompted
to save the changes:
- To save the changes, close the original editor, and open the target
editor, click Yes. The target editor opens
and selects and shows the same text that was selected in the original
editor.
- To discard the changes, close the original editor, and open the
target editor, click No. The target editor
opens and selects and shows the same text that was selected in the
original editor.
- To do nothing, click Cancel. The file remains
open in the original editor. The target editor does not open.
- If the original editor has no unsaved changes, then the original
editor is closed and the new editor opens and selects and shows the
same text that was selected in the original editor.
