_PLOffset, Set Margin

This system variable and command do the same thing. They establish a left border for the printable page when using ? and ??.

Usage

_PLOFFSET = nLeftBorder SET MARGIN TO nLeftBorder nLeftBorder = _PLOFFSET nLeftBorder = SET( "MARGIN" )

_PLOFFSET and SET MARGIN work only in the printed (or redirected to file) output produced. The echo that appears in the active window ignores them. If _LMARGIN is greater than 0, it gets added to nLeftBorder to produce the actual left margin.

Example

_PLOFFSET = 15 SET PRINT TO Test.Txt SET PRINT ON ?"This is a text" SET PRINT OFF SET PRINT TO MODI FILE test.txt&& note indentation
