The SET command is used to change several options including:

        The number of columns used by the display.
        The number of seconds between display updates.
        The characteristics of a particular field.
        The function of the arrow keys.
        The automatic positioning of windows.

 Format:

        SET option

Additional information available:

AUTO_POSITIONINGFUNCTIONSCREENINTERVAL

field

 Enables or disables automatic positioning of windows
 on the screen.

 By default, AUTO_POSITIONING is ON and windows are
 automatically positioned based on their size and the
 order in which they were originally added to the screen.
 The windows will be positioned such that they will not
 overlap, but they may extend, fully or in part, beyond
 the physical limits of the screen.

 Attempting to MOVE a window sets AUTO_POSITIONING to OFF
 and allows windows to be positioned manually.  To
 reposition a window you must first SELECT the window to
 be moved if there is more than one window being displayed
 and then MOVE the window to its new position.  When
 positioning windows manually, the windows are allowed to
 overlap.

 For additional information on moving windows manually,
 see help on SELECT and MOVE.

 Format:

        SET AUTO_POSITIONING ON
        SET AUTO_POSITIONING OFF

 Note:  The SET FUNCTION MOVE command and the MOVE command
        implicitly sets auto-positioning to off.

 By default, the arrow keys function as editing keys to
 provide command line recall and line editing.  The SET
 FUNCTION command redefines the function of the arrow
 keys on the terminal to one of three additional
 functions: PAN, SCROLL or MOVE.

 For example, by entering the SET FUNCTION PAN command,
 the left arrow, right arrow, up arrow and down arrow
 keys, are defined as PAN LEFT 1, PAN RIGHT 1, PAN UP 1
 and PAN DOWN 1 respectively.

 The SET FUNCTION SCROLL and SET FUNCTION MOVE commands
 redefine the arrow keys in a similar manner.  Command
 line recall and line editing can be restored by entering
 the SET FUNCTION EDIT command.

 Format:

        SET FUNCTION function-name

 Note:  The SET FUNCTION MOVE command implicitly sets
        auto-positioning to off.

 Sets the maximum number of columns to be used by the display.
 Accepted range is 1 to 511.

 Note:  For certain types of terminals, character size is
        dependent on the number of columns per line and
        will change as the number of columns is increased
        or decreased.


 Format:

        SET SCREEN = width

 Specifies the amount of time to wait between display updates
 expressed in seconds.  Using the SET INTERVAL commands overrides
 the /INTERVAL qualifier used at the DCL level.


 Format:

        SET INTERVAL = seconds

 Changes the characteristics of a particular field.

 Format:

        SET field-name[,...] [/qualifier,...]

 NOTE:  For a complete list of field names type HELP FIELDS
        from the command prompt.  For a list of field names
        in a particular class type HELP CLASSES class-name
        from the command prompt.

Additional information available:

/WIDTH/FORMAT

 Sets the number of columns to use to display a particular field.
 Specifying a value less than the minimum allowed for a particular
 field will set the number of columns for that field to the minimum
 value.  Specifying a value greater than the maximum number of
 columns allowed for a particular field will set the number of
 columns for that field to the maximum value.


 Format:

        SET field-name[,...] /WIDTH=value [/qualifier,...]

 Sets the radix to be used to display a particular field.  FORMAT
 applies only to decimal and hexadecimal fields.  Ascii fields can
 not be changed.


 Format:

        SET field-name[,...] /FORMAT=radix [/qualifier,...]


Note:  The HW_VERS field cannot be displayed in decimal.
