Screen Layout of the Rule Editor

When a rule appears for editing it is divided into four parts. The parts, which are separated by horizontal lines, contain:

•	The rules definition, including the optionally defined arguments and local variables

•	Conditions, including a quadrant of yes/no (Y/N) values

•	Actions, including columns of action sequence numbers

•	Exception handlers

A PF key line appears at the bottom of the screen.

Modifiable Sections

All the displayed areas can be modified except the Y/N Quadrant, which is managed entirely by the Rule Editor. You make direct modifications to a rule by overtyping or filling in the blanks in the displayed area. You make indirect modifications by issuing editing commands.

Scrolling within a Rule Editor Screen

Since a rule is restricted to the width of the screen, you need to scroll only vertically within a rule. Use the following keys to scroll:

PF7	Up
PF8	Down

The default scroll amount is one page.

Modifying the Scroll Value

To modify the scroll value, type one of the following characters into the Scroll field before using the scroll function keys:

H	Scroll half a page.
P	Scroll a page.
M	Scroll the maximum amount.
C	Scroll from the line where the cursor is positioned.
nnn	Scroll nnn lines.

To change the scroll amount temporarily, type one of the valid values in the primary command field and use a scroll key.
