| Purpose | With
the Compress
command you can get rid of empty lines within a frame or within an
entire screen. Lines from below will be moved upwards to fill the
empty ones, thus reducing the area and perimeter of the frame. This is
particularly useful when you have deleted numerous fields in a screen
and you would like to have a compact layout without necessitating a
lot of rearranging and fiddling about.
The frame is compressed vertically, not horizontally; i.e. there is a reduction in the number of lines but not in the number of columns. |
| Example | Compress G[further data] |
| Format | Compress G[frame]
Empty lines (rows) within the given frame will be deleted, the frame compacted and its size thereby reduced. Compress Empty lines (rows) within the given screen will be deleted and the entire screen compacted. |
