STARTCOL Command

The STARTCOL command alters the starting column number used when a job is listed.

The first column is 1.

starting-column

is a number greater than 0 and less than or equal to the rightmost column in the

current job. The default column number is 1.

Considerations



When Peruse is first run, the value for STARTCOL is 1.



STARTCOL can be used with NUMCOL to list only a few columns of a job.



You can use STARTCOL to view those lines of a report that are longer than 80

characters and that otherwise cannot be seen on your terminal.

Example

In this example, you use the F2 function key to display four lines of your program on

your page-mode terminal:

Then you use the PAGE * command to reposition yourself to the first line of the page

and execute a STARTCOL command to suppress the first 18 columns of the program.

This time the F2 key displays only the instruction portion of your program:

STARTCOL starting-column
