Using Line Commands

You can use line commands to scroll through, insert, copy, move, and delete lines in repeating groups on Source Panels. These commands are not related to the online work queue commands which are called margin commands. See Using Margin Commands for a list of these commands.

The numerical factor described with the following commands can be either left or right of the command depending on the site option selected. For example, to insert 3 lines, you enter either I3 or 3I depending on the format established at your site in the Datadictionary System Resource Table (SRT). See the CA Datacom/DB Database and System Administration Guide for information.
