DOWN Statement

The following DOWN statement says to move the cursor down one line:

DOWN 1

The sample program shown above contains three of these statements. Without these statements, the program would attempt to type everything on one line,and the output would be similar to this:

Hello, USER1Today is 03/02/90

The system would display the following error message:

-KEY-OPERATION ENCOUNTERED OUT OF RANGE CONDITION

The error message indicates that the ACL/E program attempted to type into an area that does not accept input.
