The statement codes 1..9 are used to provide new lines on the screen in front of the specified line. They can be filled with text and inserted in the work file after data transfer. For the distinction between new lines and empty lines (which correspond to records of length 0) see section “F mode”.
Statement code | Key |
1..9 | [DUE] or [F2] |
Depending on the selected statement code (1..9), 1 to 9 new lines are provided before the specified line. The displayed area may be shifted in the data window in order to accommodate the new lines.
Line numbers are already formed for the new lines at this point using the procedure “Insertion between two lines” (see section “Line number assignment”). If insertion is not possible then the statement code is rejected with message EDT5365.
If no text is entered in one of the available new lines then no record is created in the work file.
Example
Three lines are to be inserted in front of line 7.00. This is achieved by entering the statement code 3 in line 7.00.
The new lines 6.10 to 6.30 are provided.
