Quick Reference

Syntax


BACK.

Effect

This statement positions the list cursor on the first place of the first line in a logical unit. A list contains the following logical units:

  • A line block defined using RESERVE.
    If BACK is executed after the statement RESERVE, 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 is positioned in the first line below the standard page header.
  • The lines of a page below the page header.
    If BACK is executed outside of the event block for TOP-OF-PAGE and not after RESERVE, the list cursor is positioned in the first line below the page header.
