The Command Flow Diagram view shows all the commands that the Command Flow Collector has collected. Commands are grouped by program, then displayed both chronologically and in rows or columns that represent the different platforms and applications, regions, or Task Control Block (TCB) modes that were used. Application, Region, or TCB mode switches are shown by arrows.

By default, the different platforms and applications, regions, or Task Control Block (TCB) modes that were used are shown in rows. To show this use in columns, use the Vertical Orientation icon in the toolbar of the view. To show this use in rows, use the Horizontal Orientation icon in the toolbar of the view.
