Introduction

Generates a tabulation to your own format requirements, providing up to 5 header lines per page, at up to 120 columns print width.

How to use

Formats available are 'A' for alpha fields and 'F', 'E, or 'I' for numeric fields, using the normal FORTRAN format conventions. Spaces may be included using the nX specification either before or after fields. Reports are displayed on the screen, and can be sent to the printer or print file, or alternatively a character system file.

Notes

Data are output using ordinary FORTRAN format conversions, so any illegal values or numbers out of range will be trapped by FORTRAN and handled in the normal method for the particular computer being used. Only in the case of I format output of numeric fields will your application check the size of the data value, and substitute a - or + for a printed number if the value is respectively too small or too large.

>SYSFILE> External file name (max 56 chars)

>HALFLINE> Prompts for ten half-lines of 60-column width as a heading to the report.

>FIELD> Name of the field to be printed.
