that did it! thanks very much. problem was that I never knew which was A and which was B, and also I didn't realize that it was important. And that is why it worked sometimes by accident.
now with swapbar, I can easily tell the A screen because it has a * next to it. I literally lived with it for years without figuring it out, though I didn't really try that hard. -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Donald Johnson Sent: Monday, May 23, 2011 10:15 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: PF9 Swap question Lindy, if you think of the SWAP command as alternating between two screens, or two "sides" of a display, this might make it easier. When you are on the "A" screen and press PF9, you will go to the "B" screen. Press PF9 again, and you are back on the "A" screen. OK so far? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
