SET MARGIN

Defines the left margin for text-mode print output.

Syntax

SET MARGIN TO [<nSpaces>]

Arguments

<nSpaces>

This is a numeric value defining the number of blank spaces the print head should be advanced on the left side of a page before print output starts. Omitting the parameter sets the left margin to zero.

Description

SET MARGIN is a compatibility command for printing in text-mode. A left margin is produced by advancing the print head by <nSpaces> blank spaces. After this, data sent to the printer is output in the current print row. Note that PCol() reflects the number of blank spaces "printed" as left margin.
