Once in a while I have these 'Why did we not talk earlier' conversations, where I am a bit surprised, that some one did not know a simple great trick to work more efficiently with InterForm400. This tip is focused on exactly that, based on a couple of the support cases I have had the last month.

Have you been in a situation, where you want to insert a new line in between two existing lines like this:

Update AFC-functions attached to output queues               AFC305D 


Queue:   AFC_INPUT1     Library:   APF3812                                    


Seqnbr Funct   Form type  Save Jobname    Filename   Device file  Program     

 0001    8     DEMO                                                           

               Call, program: RUNSFI library: APF3812 User profile AFCOPER    

 0002    6                                                                    

               Hold Spooled File                                              

 
Now imagine, that you want to insert a new line between these two. Some would perhaps renumber line 2 and a lot below with F5=Service, but the easiest way is simply to type like this when you enter the new line: 

Seqnbr Function                                                        

  1.1    *        Comment                                              

                  My comment line                                      

So you simply type in a number in between with a dot in order to squeze the new line in like below: 

Update AFC-functions attached to output queues               AFC305D 


Queue:   AFC_INPUT1     Library:   APF3812                                    


Seqnbr Funct   Form type  Save Jobname    Filename   Device file  Program     

 0001    8     DEMO                                                           

               Call, program: RUNSFI library: APF3812 User profile AFCOPER    

 0002    *     My comment line                                                

 0003    6                                                                    

               Hold Spooled File

That is it. Nice and simple. You may notice that I am using a '.' (dot) as the decimal separator. You should use either a dot or comma depending on what your job is using as the decimal format (DECFMT).
