Controlling how far you scroll
To control how far you scroll when you press one of the scrolling
function keys, enter a scroll amount in the Scroll field:
- Scroll amount
- Scrolls…
- PAGE
- One panel at a time
- HALF
- Half a panel at a time
- DATA
- One line or panel column less than a screen at a time
- CSR
- To the cursor position (if the cursor is not positioned on a row when the scroll is performed, the default scroll amount is PAGE)
- nnnn
- A number of panel columns (if scrolling left or right) or rows (when scrolling up or down) at a time
Note:
- In TABL display format, you can temporarily override the amount
in the Scroll field by typing a scroll amount on the command
line, then pressing a scroll function key. For example, if you enter
8on the command line, then press the Right function key (F11), FM/Db2 scrolls right 8 panel columns. - In SNGL display format, you can specify the number of rows
FM/Db2 scrolls forward or backward by typing a number on the command line,
then pressing the Next function key (F11) or the Previous function key (F10).
For example, if you enter
5on the command line, then press the Next function key (F11), FM/Db2 scrolls forward 5 rows. - In TABL display format, the position that the cursor occupies
after you scroll left or right depends on the data type of the Db2® column that occupies the resultant
panel column:
- If the data type of the Db2® column is non-numeric, scrolling left or right moves to the relative panel column within the Db2® column (for small columns, scrolling moves to the start of the column).
- If the data type of the Db2® column is numeric, scrolling left or right moves to the start of the Db2® column.
