Page Numbers

When a report extends beyond one screen, CA Dataquery divides it into sections and assigns each section a page number. The number of report sections depends on the number of columns listed in the query. Each section is 80 characters wide (132 characters on special terminals) and as long as your terminal screen. Use PF keys to move different sections of the report onto your screen.

The following diagram shows how a columnar report that is 320 characters wide and 48 lines long is divided into sections for an 80-character, 24-line terminal screen. The number of sections required for your reports depends on the number and length of output columns.
