Keyword: CLRL


Description: You use this record-level keyword to specify that the IBM i operating system is to clear (delete) a specific number of lines before the record is displayed. Only those lines are cleared.


Status: Supported as of version 2.1.7

Converts to "clear line" property.

Handler will allow format written with this property in effect to coexist with others already on the screen, regardless of overlapping. UI framework handles individual line clearing by looking at "cursor row" property to determine original line number. Fields without "cursor row" assigned will not be cleared. Overlaid formats can still be used on an input operation from the program, which is slightly different than 5250 behavior. As in 5250, though, the user will still not be able to enter input into overlaid formats.
