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 screen at a time
- HALF
- Half a screen at a time
- DATA
- One line or column less than a screen at a time
- CSR
- To the cursor position (if the cursor is not positioned on a record when the scroll is performed, then the scroll amount defaults to PAGE)
- MAX
- To the end of the data in the direction indicated by the scrolling function key.
- nnnn
- A number of columns (when scrolling left or right) or a number of records or lines (when scrolling up or down) at a time
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), File Manager
scrolls right 8 columns.
