BACK

Short Reference

Other versions: 7.31 | 7.40 | 7.54

Syntax


BACK.

Effect

This statement positions the list cursor on the first position of the first line in a logical unit. There are the following logical units in a list:

  • A line block defined with RESERVE.
    If BACK is executed after the RESERVE statement, the list cursor is placed in the first line of the current line block.
  • The lines within a self-defined page header.
    If BACK is executed within the event block for TOP-OF-PAGE and is not placed after RESERVE, the list cursor will be positioned in the first line underneath the standard page header.
  • The lines of a page underneath the page header.
    If BACK is executed outside of the event block for TOP-OF-PAGE and not after RESERVE, the list cursor will be positioned in the first line underneath the page header.
