Paging Screens

For paging screens, PROIV performs the initial file accesses and then displays the first page. Once the first page appears, the cursor waits at the first field for input to determine the next action. The following Function Keys are available for browsing in paging screens:

Item

Description

Next

Displays the next page of records on the screen.

Prev

Displays the previous page of records on the screen.

Top

Displays a page of records starting with the first record from the file.

Bottom

Displays a page of records ending with the last record from the file

Moves the cursor up one record in a paging screen. At the first record on the page, scrolls to the previous page. To move more than one record, enter the desired number of records prior to pressing

Moves the cursor down one record in a paging screen. At the last record on the page, displays the next page. To move more than one record, enter the desired number of records prior to pressing

nnnEnter

Moves the cursor to record number nnn. If this line is not on the current page, a new page appears with the desired record as the first on the page. This option is active only when the cursor is at the sequence number field. The number is not displayed as it is keyed.

EXPAND

Toggles between Expanded and Contracted mode where screens have been set up with this feature. This allows the amount of data that appears on a paging screen to be varied. In Contracted mode, only the minimum information necessary to identify the record and to give vital information is shown. For more information about a particular record, select the record and press EXPAND. PROIVXX changes the screen to display additional fields.

When toggling from one mode to the other, the page starts with the current record.
