HIDE—Hide Excluded Lines Message

The HIDE command removes the "n Line(s) not Displayed" messages from the display where lines have been excluded by the EXCLUDE command.

The HIDE function has dependencies on the value of the ISPF variable ZHIDEX, panel attributes, and extended highlighting support of the terminal. These dependencies are described in the section "Providing customized Browse and Edit panels" in the ISPF Planning and Customisation Guide.

Syntax

X: Removes each "n Line(s) not Displayed" message from the display and underscores the line number field of the preceding line.

Description

The HIDE command removes the "n Line(s) not Displayed" messages from the display where lines have been excluded by the EXCLUDE command. Instead the line number field of the preceding line is underscored (where the terminal supports the underscore attribute) to indicate that part of the data is not being displayed.

The RESET HIDE command redisplays the excluded lines messages.

Examples

In Figure 1, the edit session shows that three lines are excluded after line 000020 and one line is excluded after line 000060:
