Start Column and End Column

You can set these values using the keywords DocmodeStartColumn=<value> and DocmodeEndColumn=<value> in the .WS profile. These settings control the left and right margins while the session is in DOC mode. For example, you can set the left margin to 10 and the right margin to 60. If insert mode is on, the following conditions apply:
  • When you type a character at the right margin, the cursor returns to the left margin on the next row.
  • Protected fields are skipped.
If insert mode is off, the following conditions apply:
  • When you are typing data and a character is pushed beyond the right margin, the pushed character is wrapped to the beginning of the next row.
  • Protected fields are skipped.

When insert mode is enabled, the ^ character is displayed at position 52 in the OIA.
