EXPAND
EXPAND is a report-specific command that you can issue only from reports.
Use EXPAND to access detailed information that isn't automatically displayed when a report is activated.
Many reports contain multiple levels of detail. The product initially displays only the highest (least detailed) level. The EXPAND command displays one or more suppressed levels.
EXPAND ALL is the default value assigned to the F21 key.
