Scrolling a display
The scroll function is available in full-screen mode for certain applications. Because the SCROLL field is always displayed, non-scrollable displays contain N/A in the SCROLL field.
Scrollable applications and their functionality are as follows:
Scrollable application | Functionality |
|---|---|
Lists | Scroll up or down |
Service displays with CSR in the SCROLL field | Scroll up or down, or (if << or >> is shown) scroll left or right |
The options LOG DISPLAY and MESSAGES in General Services | Scroll up or down, and left or right. |
The following function keys (also referred to as PF keys) control the scrolling function :
Function key | Scroll direction |
|---|---|
PF7/19 | Up |
PF8/20 | Down |
PF10/22 | Left |
PF11/23 | Right |
To scroll a specific amount
Perform one of the following actions:
- For the list applications, enter a value for the scroll amount on the COMMAND line.
- For the scrollable service displays, enter a value for the scroll amount in the SCROLL field or the SERV field.
You can use any of the following values for the scroll amount:
SCROLL field value | Amount of scroll |
|---|---|
M or MAX | Scrolls to the bottom or top of a list |
1 through 32,765 | Scrolls to the corresponding number of lines |
H or HALF | Scrolls half of a display screen amount |
P or PAGE | Scrolls a full-page display screen amount |
CSR | Scrolls to the cursor position |
The following line signals the end of the scrollable data:
