How to Page Through Multiple-page Displays

Some system tasks display multiple pages of information. For example, a DCMT DISPLAY PROGRAMS command issued on a large production system can return several pages of information.

When one or more pages of information remain to be displayed, a message at the bottom of the screen displays the page number of the current page in the format PAGE nnn.

              PAGE nnn - NEXT PAGE:

At the NEXT PAGE prompt, enter a page number to skip to a specific page. The page can be before or after the current page.

Using control keys to page

You can page back and forth through multiple-page screens by using the following control keys:

• Press Enter or PA1 (default) to page forward
• Press PA2 to page backward

Exiting from a multiple-page screen

To exit from a multiple-page screen, you can do one of the following:

• Press the Clear key
• Enter a page number larger than the largest page number of the display (for example, 9999)
