Expand and Collapse the Tree View

Some report sections are logical subsets of other larger sections, and this relationship is represented in the tree using indentation and an increasing number of vertical bars.

In the following example, an Abend report for program SBDEMOC, which begins on line eight, has six subordinate report sections.

. 8- | -Abend S=0C7 (SBDEMOC) . 22 | |-Abending Statement . 36 | |-Abending Instruction . 53 | |-Module Call Sequence . 65+ | |-Program SBDEMOC . 802+ | |-Open Files . 810 | |-Save Area Trace

The Abend report for program SBDEMOC is displayed with only one vertical bar. Each of the six subordinate sections are displayed with two vertical bars, demonstrating that they are each logically part of the Abend report.

A section in the report tree is expanded when its subordinate sections are visible in the display and collapsed when its subordinate sections are not visible. An expanded section is identified in the display by the - symbol immediately to the right of the line number, while a collapsed section is identified by a + symbol. When neither symbol appear, the report section has no subordinate sections.

This example shows the same report tree, except that the entry for program SBDEMOC is expanded to show its subordinate sections. This view now contains a direct shortcut to all of this program's data sections and other key reports.

. 8- |-Abend S=0C7 (SBDEMOC) . 22 | |-Abending Statement . 36 | |-Abending Instruction . 53 | |-Module Call Sequence . 65- | |-Program SBDEMOC . 84+ | | |-File Section . 110 | | |-Working-Storage Section . 575 | | |-External Working-Storage Section . 584 | | |-Linkage Section . 600 | | |-Registers at Abend . 637+ | | |-Memory Maps . 802+ | |-Open Files . 810 | |-Save Area Trace

By expanding and collapsing the Report Tree view, you can easily zoom in to easily locate any areas of interest within your report.
