Purpose
Determine how often the counter is updated in commands that display their progress
Syntax
SET ODOMETER AT <expN1>, <expN2> | DEFAULT
SET ODOMETER ON | OFF | (<expL>)
SET ODOMETER TO REVERSE | BOLD | NONE | <expN>
See Also
INDEX, PACK, SET PERFMETER, SET TALK, SORT
Description
When SET TALK is ON, certain commands display their progress on the screen. Commands such as INDEX, PACK, SORT etc. ’count’ on the screen to inform you of their progress. The SET ODOMETER TO <expN> command allows you to specify the units in which the counting should be performed. By default, the counting is performed in units of one. When SET TALK is OFF, SET ODOMETER TO will not operate unless SET ODOMETER is ON.
You may position the counter display using AT <expN1>, <expN2> which specify the row and column coordinates, or place it back to the default position using the DEFAULT keyword. The BOLD, REVERSE, and NONE keywords allow you to control the display attributes of the counter.
Example
set talk off set odometer on set odometer to 10 set odometer at 10,43 set message to "Pack in progress" pack set odometer off
