The CFIX option enables you to fix and unfix columns. A
fixed column is always located at the far left side of the display.
About this task
It does not shift horizontally (as unfixed columns do)
when scrolling to the left or right. INNER COLUMN SCROLLING and CEXPAND
may be used on a fixed column if the column is narrower than its maximum
width. Certain columns may be permanently fixed in the report and
cannot be unfixed by the user. Such a column has a fix status of P
(permanently fixed).
A column cannot be fixed if it is larger
than the available display area. There are also restrictions for fixing
columns related to the size requirements of other columns.
To
fix a column:
Procedure
Type CFIX in the option line on any
display panel and press Enter.
