Displaying the column number

In SNGL display format, use the REFS primary command to show or hide the column number for each displayed column:
  • If the column numbers are not currently displayed, FM/Db2 displays an additional column (to the left of the column containing the column name and, if displayed, to the left of the column showing index information) showing the column number for each column.

    If you enter the REFS primary command in TABL display format, the display is unaltered. However, if you change to SNGL display format, the display status of the additional column is reversed.

  • If the column numbers are already displayed, the REFS primary command removes them from display.
Note: You can also display the column numbers by selecting the Show column number option (for TABL, SNGL, or both display formats).
