HIDE primary command

The HIDE command removes one or more fields from the data display. You can issue the command on the IMS data panel when the display format is SNGL or TABL.

You can display a hidden field by using the SHOW (FLD) editor primary command or by using the S prefix command in the template editor.

A single field reference (for example, #1), a range (for example, #2-#5), or a list of single field references and ranges separated by spaces (for example, #1 #4 #6-#7). A single field specification is #n; n is a positive integer and cannot exceed the number of fields in the template that is being processed.
