Command Window
Besides the Command Menu, you have another means of entering commands while in Block Mode. You can
use the Command Window which is always displayed on the terminal when you are in this mode. The
Command Window is useful to those who are familiar with the commands and have no need to go through
the menu but want immediate action. In such an instance, you enter the command in the window as you
would enter it in Line Mode, using a simple syntax which is described in chapter 2. A Block Mode enter
prompt (ENTER?) appears to the bottom left of the Command Window. This tells you that RISE is waiting
for your next command. The enter prompt disappears when a command is being executed and returns
upon completion.
Show Mode
The SHOW command will display an RPG Record Specification form at the top of the screen, followed by a
page (10 lines) of RPG source records in Block Mode. If you have changes you wish to make to the records,
move the cursor to those places where the changes are to be made. Pre-set tabs allow you to use the Tab
key to skip quickly across the source records to important columns. When editing, you directly enter your
changes on the screen so that what is visible duplicates exactly what will be stored in the file. When your
editing is finished, you press the ENTER key to send your updated page to RISE. If, at that time, you want
to continue with the next page of the source file, you push the special function key, F5 (Scroll forward). If
you wanted to go into Line Mode, you would push F7. The Command Window can be used with displayed
pages in Show Mode, enabling you to perform several editorial functions at the same time. For example,
you may wish to modify the first page of text while deleting lines 100/150. To do this you would do the
