Panel layout

On nonscrollable panels, the time appears in the upper right corner in the format hh:mm:ss, where

• hh is hours in the range 00–23
• mm is minutes in the range 00–59
• ss is seconds in the range 00–59

On scrollable panels, the current line number and the total number of lines are displayed in the format LINE nnn OF nnn.

If the panel is scrollable, the scroll amount (in the format Scroll ===> ____) is also displayed at the end of the Command line. Each time you begin an Apptune session, Apptune retrieves the default scroll amount from your User Profile and displayed it here. You can change the scroll amount at any time, and the new value remains in effect until you change it or end your session. The following values are valid:

• PAGE—Data is scrolled one full page at a time. A full page size depends on the number of scrollable lines on the panel or report.

  Example

  If there are 10 scrollable lines on the panel, data is scrolled 10 lines at a time.

• HALF—Data is scrolled a half-page at a time. A half-page size depends on the number of scrollable lines on the panel or report.

  Example

  If there are 12 scrollable lines on the panel, data is scrolled 6 lines at a time.

• CSR—The cursor position determines the number of lines scrolled. When scrolling down, position the cursor on the line to be displayed at the top of the scrollable area, and press F8. When scrolling up, place the cursor on the line to be displayed at the bottom of the scrollable area, and press F7 . If you specify CSR and use the scrolling keys when the cursor is not positioned on a scrollable portion of the panel, scrolling defaults to PAGE.
• GRP—Data is scrolled one repeating group at a time. The first line of the next repeating group is displayed on the first line of the scrollable area. This value is valid only when viewing reports with repeating groups. If you specify GRP and there are no repeating groups on the panel, scrolling defaults to PAGE.
• nnnn—Data is scrolled nnnn lines at a time, where nnnn is any number in the range from 1–9999.

Apptune messages appear directly below the Command line when it is displayed at the top of the panel, and directly above the Command line when it is displayed at the bottom of the panel.

The function keys appear on the bottom two lines of the panel. A parameter in the User Profile controls the display of function keys. Modify the default values for each key from the User Profile. The following defaults are shipped with Apptune:
