Printing

The PRINT command can be used to control how the information should be viewed by the end user. These commands can be used within a paragraph (explicit printing) or attached to the SQL (implicit printing). The PRINT command uses three coordinates (line, column, length), which are optional, to determine where to place the information on the report. These coordinates can be fixed or relative to another position, by using a plus or minus sign. EDIT-MASK can be used to format the field being shown.

Print {Variable|Literal} ([line][, [column][,[length]]]) format edit-mask
Print 'My Company'       (1,1,10) Center

Format Options

There are different format options available. Not all format options are compatible with each other, or with some printers. Here are a few commonly used options.
