The following form of the ZOOM command toggles between
a multiple table display and a single table display while maintaining
all joins during an edit or browse session, a Point-and-Shoot session,
or a Compare File, Extract File, or Archive File browse session.
Zoom [ table ]
- table
- Name of the displayed table that is selected for
zoom.
- The table name may be specified explicitly by table
name or identifier (Tn or Vn), or implicitly by cursor position.
- If a table name is not specified during columnar
display, the lowest‑level displayed table is assumed.
If
a table name is not specified during zoom display, the display returns
to columnar format.
If a table name is not specified
during sidelabels display, the current table is displayed in zoomed
format.
- Zooming enables you to focus on the data from a
single table while maintaining the existing joins to related data.
- You can request a selection list of all active or
currently joined tables by specifying DB2® LIKE
syntax for the table name as in:
ZOOM %.%
When the list is displayed, use the Select line command
to select one table.
- All scrolling functions and ACCESS editing functions
are available during a zoomed display.
- The INDENT, JOIN, UNJOIN, and START commands cannot
be performed during zoom display.
- Any scrolling performed during a zoomed display
is maintained when the multiple table display is resumed.
