Single mode view allows you to edit and view a single IMS segment. The Single mode display is implemented as a view in Eclipse. You can open the view by selecting Window --> Show View --> Other.... Then select Single Mode Editor under the File Manager category.
The content of the Single mode editor is populated based on the selection in the File Manager® IMS editor. If you have multiple edit sessions opened, then the currently active/selected editor's record will be shown in the view. Using the view, you can modify the values of the currently selected record.
