Shift Scroller left (QsnShfSclL) API

The Shift Scroller left (QsnShfSclL) API shifts the scroller to the left by the specified number of scroller columns. If line wrap mode is on, shifting has no effect.

Restrictions

If the low-level environment description (see Format of the Low-Level Environment Description) for the session specifies DBCS support or the device supports CCSID-based I/O, the shift amount parameter is ignored and the default value is used.
