Controlling how far you scroll
To control how far you scroll when you press one of the scrolling
function keys, enter a scroll amount in the Scroll field:
- Scroll amount
- Scrolls…
- PAGE
- One panel at a time
- HALF
- Half a panel at a time
- DATA
- One line or panel column less than a screen at a time
- CSR
- To the cursor position (if the cursor is not positioned on a row when the scroll is performed, the default scroll amount is PAGE)
- nnnn
- A number of panel columns (if scrolling left or right) or rows (when scrolling up or down) at a time
Note:
- In TABL display format, you can temporarily override the amount
in the Scroll field by typing a scroll amount on the command
line, then pressing a scroll function key. For example, if you enter
8
on the command line, then press the Right function key (F11), FM/Db2 scrolls right 8 panel columns. - In SNGL display format, you can specify the number of rows
FM/Db2 scrolls forward or backward by typing a number on the command line,
then pressing the Next function key (F11) or the Previous function key (F10).
For example, if you enter
5
on the command line, then press the Next function key (F11), FM/Db2 scrolls forward 5 rows. - In TABL display format, the position that the cursor occupies
after you scroll left or right depends on the data type of the Db2® column that occupies the resultant
panel column:
- If the data type of the Db2® column is non-numeric, scrolling left or right moves to the relative panel column within the Db2® column (for small columns, scrolling moves to the start of the column).
- If the data type of the Db2® column is numeric, scrolling left or right moves to the start of the Db2® column.
