Variable Display Types and Fields

For each kind of variable display, a number of predefined display types are available. These predefined types and the fields they contain are discussed below.

Changing Display Types

You can change the display type by using the DISPLAY command. The format of the command is:

DISPLAY x

where x is the identifying letter for the desired type. DISPLAY can be abbreviated DI.

Example

DISPLAY A

displays the All Fields display type.

Display Type S (Short)

The Short display type is illustrated in Figure 36.
