@> - Move data window to the right

The > statement moves the position horizontally in the work file, i.e. the data window can be moved through column-by-column to the right (toward the end of the record and beyond).

The column number as of which the records are displayed in the data window is output in the status display in the work window.

Operation	Operands	F mode
@>	[n]

n

Number of columns that the work window is to be shifted to the right. Values between 0 and 32768 are permitted for n. The position can be moved so far to the right that the last column of the screen line displays the maximum column position which EDT permits for a record (32768). This applies independently of whether the work file actually contains any records of this length. If n is omitted, EDT moves to the right by the current line length of the data window (depending on the employed terminal, the settings made for it in the @VDT statement and the visibility of the line number display).

If EDT is in EDIT-LONG mode then the statement is accepted and processed (as can be seen from the change in the status display). However, the change is not visible until EDIT-LONG mode is exited.

Example

The data window is shifted 9 columns to the right.

This operation causes the data window to start at column 10.
