Other facilities of CA Ideal, the editors for example, use CA Ideal panels that open a window to a file of data. These panels, such as the procedure component of a program definition or the report detail definition, have no specific size. These panels adjust to fill whatever size region they occupy by altering the size of the window (display area of the panel). You can see all the information in a file by moving the window forward (SCROLL FORWARD) or backward (SCROLL BACKWARD). Top and bottom indicators mark the beginning and end of the file of data.
For example, when a working data definition fill‑in panel in the Panel Definition Facility (PDF) is first displayed, the panel expands to fill the available region size. When you press the Enter key, the panel redisplays showing only the number of lines you entered. For example, if you did not enter any data before pressing the Enter key, the panel is compressed to display no lines between the TOP and BOTTOM indicator lines.
In the following example, the panel is compressed to display six lines.

CA Ideal also lets you view panels that are wider than the region size. You can display these panels, which can be outputs or wide panel layouts, by moving the window left (SCROLL LEFT) or right (SCROLL RIGHT). Off‑panel data is indicated on the separator line by <<< on the left or >>> on the right. For example, in the following panel, the separator line ends with the characters >>>, indicating that more data is available off the right edge of the panel.

When the separator line on a panel is a scale line, the scale line on the panel is extended 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, respectively.
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.
