Description

If SET DELIMITERS is ON, then fields displayed on forms will be delimited with ’:’ to identify the field width. The SET DELIMITERS TO command sets the delimiter characters to those specified. If only one character is specified, then it will be used for both the left and right of the fields. The SET DELIMITERS TO DEFAULT command resets the delimiters back to ’:’. By default, DELIMITERS are OFF and the delimiter characters are ’:’.
