Using QMF


ENLARGE command

The ENLARGE command increases the size of an example table, COMMENTS box, or CONDITIONS box. The maximum allowable table width depends on the number of columns that are selected and the size of the column names. Longer names use more space. You can select up to 300 columns.


To enlarge without a function key:

  1. Type ENLARGE on the command line.
  2. Position the cursor as is shown by one of the diagrams on this page.
  3. Press Enter.

To enlarge with a function key, position the cursor in the area you want to change and press the Enlarge function key. The following diagrams show this method. An asterisk indicates the placement of the cursor. (*).
