Rational Developer for System z

visualRecordBoundary command

Use the visualRecordBoundary command to enable a vertical line indicating the record length limit of the current file. This indicator is useful for keeping track of record length limits as you are typing in a source file.

Syntax

visualRecordBoundary [on | off]

Parameters

on
Enables the indicator.
off
Disables the indicator.

Status

The status parameter is not affected by this command.

Description

When you set this option using the line command, it remains in effect only for the current edit session. To enable the indicator for all edit sessions, use the preference setting located under Window > Preferences > LPEX Editor > System z LPEX Editor > Controls.
Note: This setting uses the save.textLimit position for the file, which, for remote files, is usually based on the LRECL. For local files, the default save.textLimit position is 0, so the record boundary indicator does not display.

Examples

visualRecordBoundary on
visualRecordBoundary off
