LOCATE Command

Use the LOCATE command to find and display a specific record or page in the data being browsed.

You can abbreviate the Locate command as LOC or L.

This table shows you how to use parameters with Locate:

Parameter	Result	Example
An absolute number	Displays a record	Command ===> L 450 Scrolls record 450 to the top of the screen
A relative (signed) number	Displays a record relative to current cursor position	Command ===> L +20 Displays the current record + 20
A previously assigned label	Displays a label	Command ===> L .err Displays the line labeled .ERR

The optional PAGE parameter specifies that the absolute or relative number relates to a page rather than a specific record as in this example:

Command ===> L 8 page

The command scrolls the first record on page 8 to the top of the screen.

If a record or page number is entered that is greater than the total number of records or pages, the last record of data is displayed.
