HIDE primary command

In the FM/Db2 editor, the HIDE command removes a column from the data display. A hidden column can be displayed by using the SHOW editor primary command or by using the S prefix command in the template editor.

Syntax


1 HIDE
1 fieldref
1 fldname
1 RESET
fieldref
A single field reference (for example, #1), a range (for example, #2-#5), or a list of single field references/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 columns in the Db2® object or result table being processed.
fldname
The name of a column in the Db2® object or result table being processed. The column name can be preceded by a pound sign (#). Any value entered is translated to upper case if the "Translate Db2® object names" system's option is selected.
