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:
  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
