VCONTEXT primary command

The VCONTEXT primary command is used in the FCH Utility panel to change the output display of the search results. When the LIST=LONG option is specified for a FIND, FINDNOT or CHANGE command, the records containing the target string are displayed in the output listing. The VCONTEXT command, which can be entered as VCON, allows the "found" record to be displayed in context by allowing the user to specify the number of records to be displayed before and after the "found" record.

Syntax


1 VCONtext
1 before
2.1 after

Indicates the number of records to be displayed AFTER the record containing the found string. If after is not specified, it defaults to the same value as before.
Note: If neither value is specified, both are reset to zero.
