EXPAND
EXPAND is a report-specific command that you can issue only from reports.
Use EXPAND to access detailed information—on selected topics—that is not automatically displayed when you activate a report.
Many reports contain multiple levels of detail. Only minimal detail is displayed when you initially activate a report. The EXPAND command displays one or more suppressed levels of detail.
EXPAND ALL is the default value assigned to the F21 key.
Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
none | If you issue this command without a parameter, the command expands the data at the cursor position. If there are multiple EXPAND options at the cursor position, the product displays a selection list. You can select one or more options. |
ALL | (Optional) Expands all expandable areas of the report |
OFF | (Optional) Contracts all areas previously expanded by EXPAND commands |
codes | (Optional ) When you specify one to four single character expand codes, areas that the codes identify expand across the entire report. Other expandable areas contract (unless they were expanded on initial view). |
To issue the EXPAND command, do one of the following:
- Type an action code in the selection field beside the group to be expanded, and press Enter.
- Type EXPAND on the Command line, move the cursor to the target group, and press Enter.
- Type EXPAND on the Command line with parameters and press Enter.
- Move the cursor to a target group and press F21. (All groups expand.)
