The NS (Next Screen) command displays the next screen, if any, when a previously entered system command requires several screens to display its output.

You can enter any command, such as CQ, to terminate the display of the first command. However, WFL statements, such as REMOVE, do not cancel the display.

Syntax

Explanation

NS

Displays the next page of output when a previously entered system command requires several screens to display its output. If several screens are required, the display of each screen except the last includes an NS command ready for entry, and the display waits until the NS is entered before proceeding to the next screen.

The next screen flag (NS) is usually set up only when there might be more information to display. In some cases, the NS response might not be able tto display. In those cases, one of the following messages is displayed after the header line:

  NO MORE ENTRIES FOR THIS REQUEST
  NO MORE VIEWABLE ENTRIES FOR THIS REQUEST

The second message indicates that more entries would have been shown if ALL had been specified with the previously entered system command.
