Availability

The abbreviated forms of the FORMAT primary command are also available as line commands. The default value for the target format depends on the current display mode. If you are in SNGL format, the default is TABL mode. If you are in TABL format, the default is SNGL mode.

Using one of the above as a line command against a displayed segment occurrence is effectively the same as scrolling that segment to the top of the display, issuing a view for that line (if it is other than the current layout) and changing format.
