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.
