Zooming in to see all of a record

In CHAR, HEX, or LHEX display format, if you want to show all of the data in a particular record without having to scroll left or right, you can “zoom in” by moving the cursor to the record, then pressing the Zoom function key (F2). File Manager limits the display to just that record, as shown in Zooming in on one record (CHAR display format).

The zoomed display automatically scrolls to the column that was shown in the Col field prior to zooming.

Command ===> _____________________________________________________ Scroll PAGE
 F1=Help      F2=Zoom      F3=Exit      F4=CRetriev  F5=RFind     F6=RChange

Note: This example shows data from the second record type in the sample data set, as that record type holds more character information.

To zoom out, press the Zoom function key (F2) again. Zooming toggles between zooming in on one record and zooming out to show multiple records. When you zoom out, the display format returns to its setting prior to zooming in. For example, if you zoom in when the display format is CHAR, then change to SNGL, zooming out returns the display to CHAR format.

In SNGL or TABL display formats, when you zoom in on a record, just that record is displayed in “zoomed” SNGL display format, as shown in Zooming in on one record (“zoomed” SNGL display format). This format differs from “normal” SNGL display format, in that:

  • In this display format, you cannot navigate between records.

    In “un-zoomed” SNGL display format, you can navigate between records using the PREVIOUS and NEXT primary commands or Previous function key (F10) and Next function key (F11).

  • When you view a record in “zoomed” SNGL display format, File Manager displays all fields, regardless of whether or not they were selected for display in the template.

    Note: SNGL view with the STR command active provides a view of your record structure that is identical to the ZOOM SNGL view and allows you to scroll between the records.

    In TABL or normal (“un-zoomed”) SNGL display format, File Manager only shows the fields selected for display in the template. For instance, in the example shown in Zooming in on one record (“zoomed” SNGL display format), if you edit the template to deselect the field JOB-TITLE, in “un-zoomed” SNGL display format the record looks like this:

In TABL display format, zooming in automatically scrolls to the field that was at the left of the screen when the display format was TABL.
