To change the screen display from CHAR format to SINGLE record format change
the FORMAT (Right Top Corner) from CHAR to SNGL (Changing the first byte to S
will also serve the purpose). Screen display from CHAR from to TABLE format
can be done by changing the FORMAT from CHAR to TABL or the first byte to T.
Display formats can be changed from one format to another by changing the
FORMAT.
If you were viewing the data in CHAR format and now changed to TABL, you can
go back to the previous format by pressing PF Key <F2>
