Setting Tabs
Sometimes you may want to place information in certain
columns. The
PF4 key acts like a
tab
key on a typewriter.
Each time
PF
4
is
pressed, the cursor moves to the next
tab
column. Initial tab settings are defined by the editor. You
can change these
tab
settings using a SET TABS command.
You can find out what the
tab
settings are with the
QUERY
TABS command. Its format
is:
Query
TABS
The
tab
settings are displayed
on
a cleared screen. Press the
CLEAR
key to get your file back
on
the screen.
You can change these
tab
settings with the SET TABS
command. Its format is:
SET
TABS
nl
n2 n3
n4
etc.
You substitute the column numbers where you want the tabs
set for
nl,
n2, and so forth. These settings remain in effect
for this editing session only. The next time you edit this file,
you must enter the SET TABS command. Otherwise, the
initial tab settings will be in effect.
