Changing the Scroll Amount

Scrolling moves the data up or down the screen by a predefined amount. The amount to scroll is defined in the SCROLL field on the command line, as shown below.

4. Press the DOWN key (PF08/PF20) again.

   The report scrolls down. J. O'Leary is at the top of the screen, and K. Eaves is at the bottom of the screen. The cursor is positioned back at the COMMAND field.

5. There are two ways to change the scroll amount: changing the specific amount at the COMMAND field, and changing the scroll definition.
   1. To override the defined amount for a specific instance of scrolling, type the desired scroll amount in the COMMAND field and then press a scroll key. For example:
      • Type M in the COMMAND field.
      • Press the UP key (PF07/PF19). The report is displayed from the beginning.
   2. Changing the scroll definition affects all subsequent scrolls. To change the default scroll definition, move the cursor to the SCROLL field, and type in the desired definition. You only need to change the first letter of the defined scroll amount.

   Note: Typing M (or MAX) in the SCROLL field and pressing the UP or DOWN key causes the display to scroll to the top or bottom of the report, but the default value in the SCROLL field remains unchanged. For example:

   • To change the scroll definition to HALF, change the first letter in the scroll definition to H.
   • Leave the scroll amount defined as CRSR.
