Open Window in View Mode

To open a window in view mode

1. Define the size of the new window by placing the cursor in a data entry field of an existing window.

   The number of columns from the cursor to the right border of the existing window defines the width of the new window. The number of rows from the cursor to the bottom border of the existing window defines the height of the new window.

   Note: If there are no data entry fields in one of the current windows, you will have to access edit or scroll mode to open a window.

2. Type your window command character and press PF4.

   A prompt is displayed, instructing you to enter the session ID of the application to be displayed in the new window.

   

3. Type the session ID of the application you want to display and press Enter.

   The new window appears in the upper left corner of the screen.

   

   Note: If you do not know the session ID for the application, display your Menu for a list of applications.

   If you do not place the cursor inside a window, the new window will be the same size as the current foreground window.
