Modify/Compile Envision processes in the terminal

If you have access to Desktop UI's terminal, or connection to the unidata application layer, you can directly modify and compile envision processes. Altho this is not a recommended practice, it can come in handy when you need to put out fire quickly.

In the terminal, open the file you want to edit with command:

:AE ST.SUBROUTINES C70.S.MY.SUBROUTINE

You need to determine the location of the process you're trying to edit. If it's a FA subroutine, then then instead of ST.SUBROUTINES, use FA.SUBROUTINES.

You can search for the text using "/Text to search". After you find the line, to can go to that line by just typing in the line number. You can then replace the text with "C/"Text to be replaced"/"Text to replace with". After you are done editing, use the command "FIB" to File and Batch, which also compiles the process. Boom, you're done!
