@<< - Move data window to the start of the record

The << statement moves the work file horizontally to the start of the record, i.e. the data window can be moved through column-by-column to the left as far as the start of the record. After this operation, the displayed section of the records starts at column 1. The column number is output in the work window's status 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
