None. TOP Use the TOP subcommand to move the line pointer to the top of the file.
The null top line becomes the current line. The format of the TOP is:
r --------, I I L- When verification is on, the message: TOF: is displayed.
When you are using a display terminal, if you specify TOP and is on, the current line contains the characters TOF (indicating the top of the file), the lines preceding it are blank, and
the rest of the screen's output area contains the first lines of the
file.
TRUNC Use the TRONC subcommand to change the truncation column of records or
to display the current truncation column setting. The format of the TRUNC subcommand is:
r , I I r , , I TRUNC I In I I , 1* , I I L J I L- n indicates the column at which truncation is to occur: If n is
specified as an asterisk (*), the truncation column is set to the
record length for the filetype.
