BROWSE/EDIT MODE - INITIAL DATA DISPLAY MODE

    Four styles of data display are available when viewing your data file

    records: C (Character), F (Formatted), V (Vertical format), U (Unformatted).

    After the initial display, you use commands (CHAR, FMT, VFMT, UNFMT) to

    switch your display mode as often as you like.  Valid MODE values,

    switching commands and restrictions are as follows:

C CHARACTER - Full screen ISPF-like display of records, one record per
