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.

Examples

These statements show how to use the HIDE command from an Edit macro to hide excluded lines, then the RESET HIDE command to display the excluded lines again:

ISREDIT HIDE X        /* Hide excluded lines                         */
ISREDIT RESET HIDE    /* Redisplay excluded lines                    */
