The SCROLL command provides a means of quickly scanning
through a large window without changing the current
selection of information within that window.
To SCROLL a window it must either be selected or it must
be the only window in the display. The window may then
be scrolled vertically by a specific number of lines or
horizontally by a specific number of fields. Entering a
SCROLL LEFT or SCROLL RIGHT command will cause the window
to scroll left or right respectively. Entering a SCROLL
UP or SCROLL down command will cause the data area of the
window to scroll up or down respectively. The header will
remain stationary.
It is important to note that the left, right and bottom
border lines, or the lack thereof, as well as lines which
separate fields where the lines join the header portion
of the window, serve as indication that the window has
been scrolled left, right, down or up. There may be
pertinent information which is not currently visible.
Format:
SCROLL UP value
SCROLL DOWN value
SCROLL LEFT value
SCROLL RIGHT value
Note: If AUTO_POSITIONING is turned ON, other windows
on the screen may be repositioned as the selected
window is scrolled.
The arrow keys may be redefined as SCROLL commands.
