LEFT primary command

In View or Edit:
In TABL display format, the LEFT primary command scrolls to the left of your data. (You cannot use LEFT in SNGL display format.)

The amount (number of panel columns) scrolled is determined by either an optional parameter or, if no parameter is entered, by the amount indicated in the Scroll field.
When editing a template:
When you are editing a template, the LEFT primary command:
- Scrolls the Row Selection Criteria field on the Column Selection/Edit panel (the cursor must be positioned on the field at the time you issue the LEFT primary command)
- Toggles the display (on an 80-character screen) on the Row Selection Criteria panel between the Column name and Data type(length) details appearing (the cursor must not be positioned on a Value field at the time you issue the LEFT primary command)
