Qualifiers
=TITLE Qualifiers
Additional information available:
/DEPTH
/DEPTH=n
/DEPTH=1 (D)
Specifies how many levels of detail are displayed.
If you specify the value ALL, all subgroups for this
overview line are expanded.
If the cursor is not on an overview line or is in a
query buffer, the /DEPTH qualifier is ignored. Note
that when you use the EXPAND command with SCA, this
command does not support the /DEPTH qualifier.
/GOTO_PLACEHOLDER
/GOTO_PLACEHOLDER (D)
/NOGOTO_PLACEHOLDER
Specifies whether or not the cursor should move to the
next placeholder after performing the EXPAND operation.
The movement to the next placeholder does not take
place if it would force the current position to scroll
off the screen.
If the cursor is on an overview line, the /GOTO_
PLACEHOLDER qualifier is ignored. Note that when you
use the EXPAND command with SCA, this command does not
support the /GOTO_PLACEHOLDER qualifier.
