Note: This command fully expands only those subbranches that are not associated with a cross-referenced object (so that the tree does not expand infinitely).

Note: This command fully expands only those subbranches that are not associated with a cross-referenced object (so that the tree does not expand infinitely).

Collapses the subbranches of the current branch.

Note: When this command is used, CA IDMS Visual DBA remembers the expansion state of the lower-level subbranches (that is, the subbranches of the subbranches, and so on). When the current branch is subsequently expanded, the previous expansion state is duplicated.
