Language-Sensitive Editor

Language-Sensitive Editor (LSE) is a full-screen visual editor for the VAX/VMS and OpenVMS Operating systems. LSE is implemented by using the Text Processing Utility (TPU) language. It is part of the DECset programming tool set, which also contains a test manager, the performance and coverage analyzer (PCA), a code management system (CMS), and a module management mystem (MMS).[1]

Features

LSE requires the features of a VT100 terminal and successors, or a compatible terminal emulator. It has the following features:[2]

• Syntax templates for a number of programming languages, which can be modified or extended by the user.
• Windowing support.
• Compilation and debug within editor.
• Programmable editing functions.
• EDT keypad layout default.

Languages

As shipped in 1999 LSE came with templates for the following programming languages:[1]

• DEC Ada
• DEC BASIC
• DEC C
• DEC C++
• VAX COBOL
• DIGITAL Fortran
• DEC PASCAL
• VAX BLISS-32
• VAX C
• VAX MACRO
• DEC PL/I

As of 2007 the following additional templates were supplied:[3]

• Kednos PL/I for OpenVMS
• VAX ADA
• VAX BASIC
• VAX BLISS
• VAX CDD/Plus
• DEC COBOL
• VAX Datatrieve
• DEC DATATRIEVE
• VAX DIBOL
• VAX DOCUMENT
• VAX FORTRAN
• MACRO-64
