Enter Line Commands

Line commands are commands that you issue on many displays to affect a line on a display. You can use the abbreviated uppercase part of a line command to issue the command.

Follow these steps:

  1. Tab to the input area under the Cmd heading to the left of the line on the display for the job you want affect.
  2. Type the line command (cancel) or the abbreviated part of the line command (C), and press Enter.

    The command is processed, in this case the job is canceled, and a refresh of the screen displays.

  3. Display a list of available line commands for the display, place the cursor on the line command field and press the HELP PF key.

    The available line commands are displayed.

  4. Type the line command and press Enter.

    The command is processed.

You have entered both a specific line command and a line command that you selected from the Help.

Block commands are available for use with line commands, and for other purposes. For more information about entering block commands, see the online help Topics.
