Operating Condition
Syntax: SET WIDTH value
Range: 40 to 5000 characters
Default: 79
SET WIDTH controls the width of a data line that R:BASE directs to the printer, screen, or file when using the BACKUP, COMPUTE, CROSSTAB, DISPLAY, SELECT, TYPE, UNLOAD, or WRITE commands. Do not set the width to a number greater than the number of characters your printer can fit on a line; a typical page and computer screen display 80 characters. WIDTH does not affect report generation; each report defines the width of a data line.
Note: The 5000-character maximum does not apply to the TYPE or DISPLAY commands, which continue to have 256-character width limits.
