SP.VIEW |
![]() ![]() ![]() |
The SP.VIEW command views and, optionally, prints records from $HOLD or other files.
Format
SP.VIEW {file} {item} { LPTR n }
where
If only one name is specified on the command line, it is assumed to be the file name if a corresponding VOC F or Q-type record exists and there is no record of that name in $HOLD.
The SP.VIEW command allows users to view and print records. If no item is specified, a pick list of records in file is displayed. The cursor keys, page up, page down, home and end keys can be used to move around within this list. Equivalent actions can be performed using the letter keys or the SED style control keys.
After an item has been selected, either as described above or by specifying the item name on the command line, the text of the given record is displayed. The cursor keys, page up, page down, home and end keys can be used to move around within the data. Equivalent actions can be performed using the letter keys or the SED style control keys.
The S option prompts for the print unit (defaulting to that in the LPTR option, if used), asks whether line numbering is to be used and then prints the item.
