1 DISPLAY PCA Command Outputs the specified displays on the terminal screen or changes the attributes of those screen displays. Also used to refresh the terminal screen. Format DISPLAY [display-name [AT window-spec] [display-kind] [, display-name [AT window-spec)] [display-kind]]]) DISPLAY/REFRESH 2 Parameters display-name Specifies the name of a screen display that you want to view or whose characteristics you want to modify. This screen display must be predefined (PLOT, SRC, OUT or PROMPT) or defined with a previous SET DISPLAY command. window-spec Specifies a new screen window for the display. If you specify window-spec, the display is shown in that window. If you omit window-spec, the display remains in its current window. Window-spec can be the name of a predefined window, the name of a window you have defined with a SET WINDOW command, or a window specification of the form: start-line,line-count[,start-column,column-count] Start-line is the screen line number at which you want the top border of the display to be placed. Line-count is the number of lines of text you want to see in the window. Start- column and column-count specify the leftmost column and the number of columns in the window, respectively. Start-column and column-count default to column 1 and the current screen width, respectively. display-kind Specifies a new display kind; OUTPUT, SOURCE and PLOT are the valid keywords. OUTPUT indicates a regular output display for the SHOW and LIST commands. PLOT indicates a display that holds the output of the PLOT or TABULATE command. The SOURCE display holds the output from the TYPE command. If you omit the display-kind parameter, the kind of the display is not changed. 2 Description The DISPLAY command performs a variety of functions. Its major function is to show the contents of the specified screen displays. Each specified display is placed on top of any other displays that occupy overlapping windows on the terminal screen. The specified displays then become fully visible and any displays they overlap are hidden. You can also use the DISPLAY command to change the attributes of the specified screen displays. You can create displays that do not appear on the screen, you can change their sizes, you can clear their contents, and you can change their window locations and display kinds. 2 Qualifiers /CLEAR Erases the entire textual contents of the specified screen displays. /DYNAMIC /DYNAMIC /NODYNAMIC Controls whether a display automatically adjusts its window dimensions proportionally when a SET TERMINAL command is issued. /DYNAMIC is the default. /HIDE Conceals the display under any other displays that overlap it. As a result, any displays that were previously hidden under the specified display become visible. /POP /POP /NOPOP /POP places a specified display at the top of the display pasteboard, ahead of any other displays. This is the default. /NOPOP preserves the order of all displays on the pasteboard. /PUSH /PUSH /NOPUSH /PUSH has the same effect as /HIDE. /NOPUSH preserves the order of all displays on the pasteboard (same effect as /NOPOP). /REFRESH Refreshes the terminal screen. Do not use parameters or other qualifiers on a DISPLAY/REFRESH command. /REMOVE Creates a display that does not appear on the screen. Its definition and textual contents are saved, and can be brought back with another DISPLAY command. /SIZE /SIZE:n Changes the maximum size of a normal output display to n lines. If more than n lines are written to the display, the oldest lines are lost as the new lines are added. If you omit this qualifier, the maximum size is not changed. 2 Examples PCAA> DISPLAY PLOT This command displays the screen display named PLOT. PLOT is placed over any other displays with overlapping windows. PCAA> DISPLAY/SIZE:200 OUT This command changes the size of the OUT display so that OUT holds the 200 most recent lines of output instead of the default 100 lines. It also places OUT on top of any other displays with overlapping windows.
