Truncate

The DEFINE/FORM command qualifier /TRUNCATE discards any

characters that exceed the current line length specified by the /

WIDTH and /MARGIN=RIGHT settings:

$ DEFINE/FORM/NOTRUNCATE

The /TRUNCATE qualifier is incompatible with the /WRAP qualifier

because it forces /NOWRAP. If you specify both /NOTRUNCATE and /

NOWRAP, the printer prints as many characters on a line as possible.

This combination of qualifiers is useful for some types of graphics out-

put.

Width

The DEFINE/FORM command qualifier /WIDTH specifies the physi-

cal width of the paper in terms of columns or character positions. Any

lines exceeding this value wrap if /WRAP is in effect or truncate if /

TRUNCATE is in effect.

$ DEFINE/FORM/WIDTH

If both /NOTRUNCATE and /NOWRAP are specified, the maximum

number of characters for the current font are printed on a line. If the /

MARGIN=RIGHT qualifier is specified, its value overrides the /WIDTH

value.

The value for the /WIDTH qualifier must be a positive integer greater

than 0 and no more than 65535. The default value for the /WIDTH

qualifier is 132.

Wrap

The DEFINE/FORM command qualifier /WRAP specifies how the

printer accommodates lines that exceed either the /WIDTH value or

the /MARGIN=RIGHT value. The /WRAP qualifier causes print lines

that exceed the current line width to wrap onto the next line.

$ DEFINE/FORM/WRAP
