Third and Fourth Lines of VIEW COLS Header Fields

The third and fourth lines of the VIEW COLS header consist of a series of dots, one above each column of the display. By overtyping the dots in either or both of these header lines, you can set the width and order of the data columns for the logical view you are creating. You can also enable or disable the display of the carriage control characters, and lock the left column of the logical view to keep it from scrolling off the display.

The following table gives an overview of how to access each of the functions available with these header lines:

Function	Example	Description
Enable and Disable Carriage Control Display	Y.............. ...............	The leftmost column of these two header lines controls the carriage control character display. To display the carriage control character in a logical view, replace the dot in either line with a Y. If you do not want to include carriage control characters in the your logical view, replace the leftmost dot in either line with an N. The product automatically enters this value on the primary View Definition panel.
Define Columns	.1....1..2....2 .0....0....... <-----> <----> Col 1 Col 2	Replace the dots in the column of the display where you want the column of the view to begin and end. Use the number of the view column. In the example to the left, view columns 10 and 2 are defined. Single digit numbers can be entered on either line; double digit characters are entered vertically. In this example, column 2 is displayed in the logical view before column 10. The product automatically enters these column specifications on the Column Specifications panel.
Lock Left Column	.L...L...2....2 ............... <-----> <-----> Col 1 Col 2	Locate the dot in the display column where you want the locked view column to begin and replace it with an L; do the same in the display column where you want the locked view column to end. Because the locked column is always column 1, the next column you define is column 2, as in the example. The product automatically enters this value on the primary View Definition panel.
