Displaying Wide Panels

CA Ideal lets you display panels that are wider than the terminal's presentation area. When a wide panel is partially displayed, the following indication is given:

• When the separator line is a repeated character and the panel is truncated on the left, the left‑most three characters of the separator line are <<<. When the panel is truncated on the right, the right‑most three characters of the separator line are >>>.
• When the separator line on a panel is a scale line, the scale line on the panel extends to include the entire panel width and is scrolled horizontally with the panel. For example, a panel 132 columns wide has a scale line showing 132 positions, with 9, 10, 11, 12, and 13 representing columns 90, 100, 110, 120, and 130.

Note: The actual column position of a column represented by a two‑digit number is under the right‑most digit. For example, column 130 is represented on the scale line as column 13 and is actually the column under the 3 in the number 13.

Where to Go from Here

You can display any of the definition fill‑ins by entering the appropriate command on the command line or by pressing the appropriate function key as shown in the following illustration:
