ANNOTATE

A

Used while browsing a report

• If the cursor is not on a report line, an error message is displayed.
• If the cursor is on a report line that does not contain an annotation, an error message is displayed.
• If the cursor is on a report line that contains an annotation, the annotation is selected for processing.
• When you exit the annotation, the report will not be positioned at the line containing the annotation unless you exit the Annotation Definition panel using the LOCATE command.

ANNOTATE ON

A N

Turns annotation on, so that the annotated report display is visible

The second illustration in the preceding section shows the report shifted two columns to the right leaving the first two columns for an annotation indicator. Therefore, on an 80 column terminal, only 78 report characters per line are displayed indicating one of the following:

A (Annotation)

This line contains an annotation.

B (Bookmark)

This line contains a bookmark.

C (Combined)

There is an annotation and a bookmark on this line.

ANNOTATE OFF

A F

Turns annotation off so that the full report display is visible

The first illustration in the preceding section shows all report characters per line leaving no room for the annotation indicator.

ANNOTATE name

A name

Used while browsing a report

• If there is no existing annotation by this name, a new one is created and attached to the line at the top of the screen.
• If there is an existing annotation with the specified name, this command selects the named annotation for processing and repositions the report. The line to which the annotation is attached appears at the top of the screen.

This is a shortcut.

• If you use this method, you do not have to first specify the GOTO primary command and then select or create the desired annotation from the Annotation/Bookmark Selection List.
• If you are selecting an existing annotation, the report is positioned at the line containing the annotation.

BOOKMARK
name

B name

Used while browsing a report

• If there is no existing bookmark by this name, a new one is created and attached to the line at the top of the screen.
• If there is an existing bookmark by this name, this command repositions the report so that the line to which the named bookmark is attached is at the top of the screen.

This is a shortcut.

• If you use this method, you do not have to specify the GOTO command then locate or create the desired bookmark from the Annotation/Bookmark Selection List.

GOTO

G

Used to display the Annotation/Bookmark Selection List

You can:

• Select or delete an existing annotation or bookmark, or create a new one.
• Position the report so that the line to which the annotation/bookmark is attached is at the top of the screen.
