COLS—Display Fixed Columns Line
The COLS primary command displays a non-scrolling columns indicator line at the top of the data area.
Syntax
- ON
- Display columns line.
- OFF
- Remove columns line from the display.
Description
The COLS command displays a columns indicator line at the top of the data area in Edit and View mode. This works in the same manner as the columns line under Browse.
The
columns line differs from that displayed by the COLS
line
command in that the line command field is protected. This means that
it cannot be copied, moved, or deleted by overtyping with line commands.
The line does not scroll with the data, and therefore the number of
data lines displayed is reduced by one.
Entering COLS with no parameter toggles the display to the opposite. For example, if the columns line is currently displayed, entering COLS removes it.
Examples
To display the columns indicator
line, enter this command:
COLS ON
Figure 1 shows an example of an edit screen displaying
the columns indicator line.
