++ - Move to the last (marked) record in the work file

The ++ statement moves to the end of the work file or to the last record with a specified record mark.

Operation	Operands	F mode
++ [DUE]
++ [F3]
++	([m[,...]])

If the statement is sent without operands by means of the [DUE] key or a function key other than [F3] then the work file is positioned in such a way that the last record of the work file is displayed in the last screen line of the data window (in contrast, [phone] causes the last record in the work file to be displayed in the first screen line of the data window).

If the statement is sent without operands by means of [F3] then the position moves to the

last record having any record mark (1..9). The statement +[F3] is therefore equivalent to ++() [DUE].

m

Is one of the possible record marks (1..9) to which the position may be moved. It is possible to specify multiple record marks which must be separated by commas. The position moves forwards to the last record with one of the specified record marks - this is displayed in the first screen line of the data window. Marks with special functions (see section “Recordmarks” (Record marks )) are ignored here. If m is not specified then the position moves to the last record having any record mark (1..9).

Note

If the statement is sent with [F3] then it is important to make sure that only statement codes that can be sent with [F3] are specified simultaneously (see section on statement codes). Otherwise, the operation is aborted during the analysis of the statement codes and the ++ statement is not executed.
