^ Using the Cursor Movement and Editing Keys
This section explains how to move the cursor and use the editing keys.
The following functions, which provide flexibility during text entry and edit
operations, are available in document mode.
j Using Word Wrap
To turn word wrap on or off, press the WRAP key.
Word wrap is a function that automatically moves the last word on a row to the next
^ row if the word would otherwise overrun the right margin.
I Word wrap is automatically turned on the first time that document mode is
^ I established. If you turn word wrap off, the next time you use document mode word
I wrap will be off. A word wrap symbol ({}) appears in column 70 of the operator
r information area when word wrap is operational.
Word Wrap with insert Mode Off
I A wrap can occur if the entry area of the next row contains only nulls and spaces
I between the left margin and the first field attribute character.® If there are no field
I attribute characters in the entry area of the next row, or if your control unit is using
I code prior to 3174 Configuration Support B Release 2, the entire entry area of the
I next row must contain nulls and spaces. Ask your system administrator if your
I system is using Configuration Support B Release 2 or an earlier version.
You can wrap a word of any length less than the total space between the margins
(or left margin and field attribute) exclusive of the margins and attribute. Space
characters are placed in the position formerly occupied by the wrapped word.
Word wrap obeys margin boundaries. If you enter any character other than DUP or
space into the column position immediately left of the right margin on the current
row, the entire word is placed on the next row, beginning at the left margin.
I You will see the Too Much symbol (X >) in the operator information area if one
I of the following is true:
1 • If the word occupies an entire row
i • If the word does not fit between the left margin and first field attribute on the
I next row
I • If the current row is the bottom row
I • If the field in the next line is protected.
I If the left margin is within an unprotected field on the screen, the nulls to the left of
I the left margin within that field change to spaces. This makes the document look
just like you see it on the screen after you send it to the host in a read-modified
operation.
3 A field attribute character, associated with a field In a display file, defines how the field Is displayed (for example,
whether It Is underlined, blinking, or Intensified).
