The System Program Extended Editor (XEDIT) is a full-screen editor provided by CMS.

As a powerful programming tool it's popular amongst some users due to its strong REXX integration features. XEDIT supports macros written in EXEC, EXEC 2 and REXX.

It has some resemblances to the "IBM family editors" including Tinyed/TEDIT and Enhanced Editor.
