The commands that initiate page mode and allow movement through the work file are briefly described in the following list. For more complete descriptions with examples, see CANDE Commands. Any of the five commands given below, except + and –, will initiate page mode and display the first page of records in the work file with the token NEXT+ in the upper left-hand corner on an unnumbered line. The exceptions are + and –, which always shift the indicated increment before displaying a page of records.
After page mode is initiated, the page-invoking commands do the following:
|
Command |
Definition |
|---|---|
|
PAGE |
Displays a page starting with a specified sequence number. |
|
NEXT +/– |
Displays a page after shifting from the currently displayed page forward (+) or backward (–) a specified number of pages. |
|
SAME |
Refreshes the currently displayed page. |
|
+, – |
Displays a page after shifting from the currently displayed page forward (+) or backward (–) a specified number of records. |
|
SEQ |
Displays a page with a column of sequence numbers, determined by the specified base and increment, at the leftmost locations on the screen. When SEQ is transmitted after a text already exists, the previously sequenced records are numerically inserted along with the new sequence numbers. As each page is transmitted, the next page of sequence numbers is displayed. If a CANDE command other than SEQ is transmitted, sequencing automatically stops. Sequencing resumes where it left off when a SEQ NEXT is transmitted. |
