By default, FOCUS reports are displayed in HotScreen, the FOCUS full-screen output facility that enables you to scroll within a report, store report data in a separate file, and print a report. Many of these functions can be invoked by using keys or by issuing commands at the command line. You can abbreviate a command name by using its shortest unique truncation.
FOCUS automatically activates HotScreen every time you start a FOCUS session.
To check if HotScreen is activated, issue the following query at the FOCUS command prompt. The value of the SCREEN parameter should be ON:
? SET SCREEN
If you are using a full-screen terminal, you can activate HotScreen by issuing the following command at the FOCUS command prompt:
SET SCREEN=ON
This is the default setting for full-screen terminals.
Other acceptable values for SCREEN are OFF and PAPER.
Use SET SCREEN=PAPER when you want the report display on your full‑screen terminal to match the printed report.
Note: You can reset the SCREEN parameter with either the SET SCREEN command or the ON TABLE SET SCREEN command in a report request.

Note: PRINTPLUS is not supported for StyleSheets. A warning message is generated in this case.
