The Quick Browse panel shows as much of each variable value as possible and always shows at least 8 characters. If there are more variables than can fit on the panel, use F7 and F8 to scroll through the screens. If you position the cursor at a particular row and press Enter, you invoke the browse function that allows you to browse the table one row at a time with all values displayed.

Note: Only the first 20 key and name variables display. Additional variables and extension variables can be displayed by selecting a row for full-browse.
