Inserting characters

To insert one or more characters within data in the entry area:
  1. Position the cursor at the character position following the point where the missing data should appear.
  2. Press the INS MODE key (the insert mode marker appears on the console).
  3. Type in the missing data.
  4. On some consoles, you must press the RESET key to return the keyboard to its normal input mode.

Example:

To insert the console identifier 10 in the following command: 
DISPLAY JOBS,L=CONSC
Move the cursor back to the C, press the INS MODE key, type in 10, and press the RESET key. The command then reads: 
DISPLAY JOBS,L=CONS10C

Note that the characters to the right of the inserted characters shift to make room for the inserted characters. If required, characters shift to the second line of the entry area.
