The LEFT MARGIN Statement

2 Report Description Statements

The LEFT MARGIN Statement

The LEFT MARGIN statement may be used to horizontally shift a report on a page. It establishes the leftmost column of a line which may be used for printing. This statement only applies when output is going to a printer. For reports to a CRT display, the left margin will always be 1.

LEFT MARGIN column

The parameter is:

column: A numeric expression which evaluates to an integer from 1 to the current printer width less one (or 132, whichever is less). It defines the leftmost column from which to reference all image execution. The value of column - 1 will be added to the length of each printed line. If LEFT MARGIN is not present, column defaults to 1.
