Purpose
Function to return printer column position function
Syntax
PCOL()
See Also
COL(), DB_PRINT, PROW(), ROW(), SCOLS(), SET CONSOLE, SET DEVICE, SET PRINT, SET PRINTER, SET SCREENMAP, SROWS()
Description
The PCOL() function returns the current column position of the printer. The current print position is updated whenever you issue @...SAY commands. Normal output using other commands does not have an effect. The main use of the PCOL() function is for calculating relative column addressing when designing formatted reports for output to the printer. The SET DEVICE TO PRINT command must be in effect for the print column position to be tracked.
Example
set print on set device to print @0,0 say "Testing" @0,pcol()+20 say "o.k."
Products
Recital, Recital Server
