When you execute a query (or dialog) and the results appear on your screen, what you see is the upper-left corner of a report. If the report format is columnar, the width of the report itself might extend many columns to the right. Any report can contain more lines than are immediately visible on your terminal screen.
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.

Operation
Arrows and notations on the line above the PF key menu indicate whether more of the report exists beyond the screen. RIGHT and LEFT PF keys allow you to move across the report (horizontally) and FORWARD and BACKWARD PF keys allow you to move up and down from one segment to another. The WRAP command, issued on the command line during output display, moves off-screen lines to the current screen by wrapping them from one line to the next. NOWRAP returns the output to its multi-screen display.
If PF keys do not appear on your output panel, your User Profile is set to suppress them. Talk to your CA Dataquery Administrator about changing your profile if you want to see the PF key menu.
