Using Top-line Commands

Using Top-line Commands

You can use top-line commands in an OCF, online compiler, or IDD Menu Facility session. These commands manipulate the contents of a work file, execute the statements in an OCF work file or execute the compiler, and suspend or terminate a session.

Note: For more information about editing commands that you enter in the input/output area of the screen, see Using Line Commands.

Entering Top-line Commands

To enter a top-line command, type the command on the top line of the screen and press Enter or use the program function (PF) key assigned to the desired command function (see Using Control Keys).

You can abbreviate session-control commands to three characters, except for the following commands:

• FIND which can be abbreviated to F
• PRIOR which can be abbreviated to PRIO (four characters distinguish it from the keyword PRINT)
