Moves the current cached window up Moves the current cached window up

The File Manager® editor only caches a subset of records locally for display. The number of cached records are controlled in the File Manager® preference page. This allows efficient transfer of data from the mainframe to your desktop machine, particularly when you are working with a resource containing a large number of records.

This action moves the cached records backward. That is, it retrieves records that precede the first record cached in the current cache window. This action is equivalent to issuing UP nn command, in that it positions the editor's cursor backward by the specified number of records (nn).
