Design Display
Two kinds of views of display are provided to design elements as follows:
Screen view
List view
Screen View
The screen view shows you an image that is similar to what will be printed. The
printout image is shown in the upper part of the display called the
image area
.In
the screen view, you can specify the position of an element by the cursor position
in the image area. The design display is initially in the screen view. You can
change it to the list view by pressing the F17 (Switch view) key.
See “Defining Elements in the Screen View” on page 222 for more information.
List View
In the list view, all element definitions are displayed in the order of the sequence
number with one element in a line. The order in which the elements are displayed
can be changed by sorting the list (F4=Sort) by the number (NBR), NAME,
ACROSS, or DOWN fields. To sort the list, place the cursor on or under one of
these field names and press F4. The intended use of the list view is to see the
defined elements in a source overlay, a record layout, or a page layout and make
minor modifications to the elements. You can easily find an element because you
can see part of the definitions such as the bar code data and the page segment
name that are not displayed on the image area in the screen view. You can
change the display to the screen view by pressing the F17 (Switch view) key.
See “Changing Elements in the List View” on page 282 for more information.
