LEFT primary command — scroll data left
Use the LEFT primary command to scroll toward the first, or left-most,
column of the data.
- Syntax
LEFT [ amount ] - Parameter
- amount
- Specifies one of the following scroll amounts:
- A number from 1 through 9999, representing the number of columns to be scrolled
- PAGE or P, indicating that a full screen should be scrolled
- HALF or H, indicating that a half-screen should be scrolled
- CSR or C, indicating that the screen should be scrolled to the position on which the cursor resides
- MAX or M, indicating that the screen should be scrolled to the left margin
- DATA or D, indicating that the screen should be scrolled a page minus one column
If you do not specify an amount, IPCS uses the amount in the SCROLL amount field in the upper right corner of the screen.
- Usage notes
- LEFT can be used on all IPCS dialog panels that display the SCROLL amount field.
- The scroll amount is typically displayed on the screen, following the command/option field. You can change the scroll amount by typing over the SCROLL amount field with the new amount. The new scroll amount will remain effective (except MAX or M) until you change it or until you begin a new function.
- You can temporarily override the scroll amount, without changing
the SCROLL amount field, by:
- Typing an amount as part of the scroll command and pressing the ENTER key
- Typing a scroll amount in the command/option field and then pressing PF10 or PF22
- The IPCS-defined PF keys 10 and 22 invoke the LEFT primary command.
- Example: Scroll using the cursor value.
- Action One of the following:
COMMAND ===> left csr COMMAND ===> left c - Result
The panel is scrolled to the position of the cursor within the data.
