instance.)
In SHOW mode the terminal's cursor control keys and two of the editing keys--INSERT CHAR[acter] and
DELETE CHAR[acter]--will prove particularly useful in your editing. (INSERT LINE and DELETE LINE
keys are not activated.) Also, tabs have been set to correspond with the important Record Specification
form columns. Using the TAB key rather than the space bar to position your cursor, you move quickly from
column to column to the position where changes are necessary. You then type your changes in directly.
When you are satisfied with your changes, press the ENTER key to update the work file with your newly
edited page.
Related Commands
Two sets of special function key labels can appear at the top of the screen with the SHOW command. They
are the Master set and the Scroll set. To change sets, you press softkey F1, which is a toggle switch.
When the Master set is activated, the special function keys perform the following functions:
F1
Switch to Scroll set.
F2
Insert lines.
F3
Show page with or without edit sequence numbers.
F4
Move cursor to Command Window.
F5
Scroll forward to next page.
F6
Scroll backward one page.
F7
Enter Line Mode.
F8
Display main menu.
Softkey F3 will display the RPG source file on the screen with or without the sequence line numbers of the
work file. If F3 is on, the sequence numbers will appear on the left hand side of the screen. RPG source
records are 80 columns long. When RISE displays the source records on the screen without the sequence
numbers, the individual records will fit on a single line. When you press F3, calling for a display of
sequence numbers, columns 72-80 of each record are not shown. These columns are not deleted in such an
instance, but the screen no longer contains the complete record since room is made to display the sequence
numbers on the lefthand side.
Thus, you may display complete source records without the sequence numbers when you wish. If, however,
you wish to determine where you are in the work file, and need sequence numbers to accomplish this, you
will do so at the cost of truncating columns 72-80 from the screen display. They are not accessible at this
time and cannot be altered.
Inserting Lines
When you wish to insert new lines between existing lines you may have to make room for them. If this is
necessary you press F2 when the Master set of function keys is activated. This changes the special
function key labels so that F1 through F4 are prepared to receive insertion commands. You then position
the cursor at the line preceding the position where you wish to begin the insertion.
When the cursor is positioned correctly, you press softkeys F1, F2, F3, or F4, depending on how many lines
you are adding (F1 adds 1 line; F4 adds 4 lines). An example of the correct procedure for inserting lines is
included in the examples below.
