SCROLL Command

Use the SCROLL command to move forward and backward through the lines of a panel that you cannot display all at one time on a single screen. Use the following format for this command. The abbreviated command syntax is SCR. If your completed command exceeds the 76 spaces available in one command line, you must use the prompter panel to issue the command.

ON
SCROLL [option]
OFF
