SC [OL] Display Ruler (Scale, Orientation Line)

SC [file | 'text']

SC A Ruler with column markings is displayed in the top half of the screen. The Ruler is active both in Display mode, and when displaying the file list.

SC file The Ruler is created from the first line of the specified file. In non-display mode (file list), the Ruler always appears in its standard form, i.e. no record content.

SC 'text' The Ruler will display as the text enclosed in quotes.

SCO | NSC The Ruler is disabled. NSC can be issued instead of SCO.

Standard: SCO.

OL | NOL As an alternative to SC/SCO, the commands OL/NOL (Orientation Line/No Orientation Line) can also be used.

Notes:

When displaying ISAM files, the ISAM key positions in the Ruler are displayed in either double brightness or underline mode, according to terminal type.

Scale is useful as an orientation tool for the Search command when entering a column range. Locating certain columns within a record is also made easier with Scale.
