Viewing or (Display) Commands

The following table describes the View commands:

• COLS and NOCOLS—Sets up a column reference line, which is displayed at the top of the display; removes the reference line.
• HEX and NOHEX—Displays the spool file record in hexadecimal formats. Some additional lines are displayed for each line in the spool file, as follows:
  • The first line is the spool file record displayed in EBCDIC.
  • The next two lines show the hex representation of each character in the record, shown directly below the character it represents.
  • The next line is a separator line to make the screen more readable.

  HEX and LVIEW are mutually exclusive.

  NOHEX returns you to normal display mode.

• EXCLUDE <s1 e1 s2 e2 ... s6 e6> and NOEX—Removes up to six intervals of columns from the display; intervals are specified as operands to the command as follows:
  • If the intervals are specified as operands, they must be specified in pairs to indicate the start and end column to be excluded. The start column must not be greater than the end column. If the start and end columns are equal, only one column is excluded.
  • If no operands are specified, a column reference line is displayed so that you can indicate the intervals:

    > Indicates the first excluded column

    < Indicates the last excluded column

    X Indicates one excluded column

    Note: Maximum of three intervals and three single columns.

  Use the LEFT and RIGHT commands if necessary to complete the EXCLUDE command.

Example:

• To exclude column 100 and only column 100:

  EXCLUDE 100 100
  

• To exclude columns 40 through 50:

  EXCLUDE 40 50
  

• To exclude 5 columns starting in column 8:

  EXCLUDE 8/5
  

• LVIEW and NOLV—LVIEW selects the logical view display mode.

  The spool file records are displayed as they would appear on a printer. The print is formatted in accordance with the FCB specified for the file.

  The following considerations apply:

  • Specify Channel 1 only once in the FCB.
  • Printing beyond the length specified by the FCB is not allowed.
  • The HEX and LVIEW commands are mutually exclusive.
  • The FIND command with the positional parameter ALLHITS and LVIEW are mutually exclusive.
  • LVIEW may be abbreviated to LV.
  • NOLV returns to normal display mode.

  Note: When logical view display mode is active, all PF keys and most commands are available.

• RNUM and NORNUM—RNUM displays the record number of the lines displayed in columns 1 to 8. The remaining data is scrolled to the right.

  NORNUM removes the record numbers and scrolls left.
