visualRecordBoundary command

Use the visualRecordBoundary command to enable a vertical line that indicates the record length limit of the current file. This indicator is useful for monitoring record length limits as you type in a source file.

Syntax

visualRecordBoundary [on | off]

Parameters

on: Enables the indicator.
off: Disables the indicator.

Status

The status parameter is not affected by this command.

Description

When you set this option by using the line command, it remains in effect only for the current edit session. To enable the indicator for all edit sessions, use the preference setting on the LPEX Editor > z Systems LPEX Editor > Controls page of the Preferences window.

Note: This setting uses the save.textLimit position for the file, which, for remote files, is based on the LRECL. For local files, the default save.textLimit position is 0, so the record boundary indicator does not display.

Examples

visualRecordBoundary on
