Locating a row

To move to a particular row number, use the LOCATE primary command. In a File Manager/Db2 editor session, rows are numbered from 1 upwards and the row number is shown in the prefix area (TABL display mode) or in the upper right of the panel (SNGL display mode). For example, to move to row 42, enter the following command:

LOCATE 42

In TABL display format, this command scrolls the display (either forwards or backwards) so that row number 42 is displayed at the top of the screen. In SNGL display format, the display changes so that row number 42 is displayed.

In a File Manager/Db2 editor session, you can also use the LOCATE primary command to move to a row to which a particular label has been assigned. For example, to move to the row labeled .HERE, enter the following command:

LOCATE .HERE

In a File Manager/Db2 editor session, if in TABL display format, this command scrolls the display (either forwards or backwards) so that the row labeled .HERE is at the top of the screen. In SNGL display format, the display changes so that the row, previously labeled .HERE in TABL display format, is displayed.
