PCA Command Moves a screen display vertically and/or horizontally across the screen. Format MOVE [disp-name[,...]]
1 – Parameters
disp-name Specifies a display to be moved. You may specify any of the following: o A predefined display: SRC, OUT, PROMPT, PLOT o A display previously created with the SET DISPLAY command o A pseudo-display name: %CURDISP, %CURSCROLL, %NEXTDISP, %NEXTOUTPUT, %NEXTPLOT, %NEXTSCROLL, %NEXTSOURCE If you do not specify a display, the current scrolling display, as established by the SELECT/SCROLL command, is chosen.
2 – Description
For each display specified, the MOVE command simply creates a window of the same dimensions elsewhere on the screen and maps the display to it, while maintaining the relative position of the text within the window. The MOVE command does not change the order of a display on the display pasteboard. Depending on the relative order of displays, the MOVE command may cause the display to hide or uncover another display or be hidden by another display, partially or totally. A display can be moved only up to the edge of the screen. You must specify at least one qualifier.
