Use the LEFT primary command to scroll toward the first, or left-most,
column of the data.
- Syntax
- Parameter
- amount
- Specifies one of the following scroll amounts:
- A number from 1 through 9999, representing the number of columns
to be scrolled
- PAGE or P, indicating that a full screen should be scrolled
- HALF or H, indicating that a half-screen should be scrolled
- CSR or C, indicating that the screen should be scrolled to the
position on which the cursor resides
- MAX or M, indicating that the screen should be scrolled to the
left margin
- DATA or D, indicating that the screen should be scrolled a page
minus one column
If you do not specify an amount, IPCS uses the amount in the
SCROLL amount field in the upper right corner of the screen.
- Usage notes
- LEFT can be used on all IPCS dialog panels that display the SCROLL
amount field.
- The scroll amount is typically displayed on the screen, following
the command/option field. You can change the scroll amount by typing
over the SCROLL amount field with the new amount. The new scroll amount
will remain effective (except MAX or M) until you change it or until
you begin a new function.
- You can temporarily override the scroll amount, without changing
the SCROLL amount field, by:
- Typing an amount as part of the scroll command and pressing the
ENTER key
- Typing a scroll amount in the command/option field and then pressing
PF10 or PF22
- The IPCS-defined PF keys 10 and 22 invoke the LEFT primary command.
- Example: Scroll using the cursor value.
