Windowing Syntax Summary 

Your COBOL system includes the following syntax to support windowing:

   *   DISPLAY WINDOW

       Creates a terminal window (a rectangular region of the screen) and
       makes it the current window.  This is like a virtual terminal, in
       which screen positions are relative to the top left corner of the
       window.

   *   DISPLAY LINE

       Enables you to draw lines on the terminal (real or virtual),
       automatically using the best mode available on the terminal.  Used
       with the DISPLAY BOX statement, the DISPLAY LINE statement enables
       you to draw forms on the terminal.

   *   DISPLAY BOX

       Enables you to draw boxes on the terminal, automatically using the
       best mode available on the terminal.  Used with the DISPLAY LINE
       statement, the DISPLAY BOX statement enables you to draw forms on
       the terminal.

   *   CLOSE WINDOW

       Removes a window.  If you specify the window as being a POP-UP,
       the underlying display can be restored.
