Setting Tabs; Displaying Pf Key Settings - IBM Professional Series User Manual

Setting Tabs
Sometimes you may want to place information in certain
columns. The PF4 key acts like a tab key on a typewriter.
Each time PF 4 is pressed, the cursor moves to the next tab
column. Initial tab settings are defined by the editor. You
can change these tab settings using a SET TABS command.
You can find out what the tab settings are with the QUERY
TABS command. Its format is:
Query
TABS
The tab settings are displayed on a cleared screen. Press the
CLEAR key to get your file back on the screen.
You can change these tab settings with the SET TABS
command. Its format is:
SET TABS nl n2 n3 n4 etc.
You substitute the column numbers where you want the tabs
set for nl, n2, and so forth. These settings remain in effect
for this editing session only. The next time you edit this file,
you must enter the SET TABS command. Otherwise, the
initial tab settings will be in effect.
