I am trying to update an old report and I found the command "IN + 1" as you see below.

Someone knows what does this command do?


TABLE FILE HOLD1
PRINT
FRS_SEQ AS 'SEQNO'
ITEM_NO AS 'PARTNO' IN +1
ITEM_DESC AS 'DESC' IN +1
BY FRS_LINE NOPRINT
END

This is syntax that forces the placement of the field +n spaces to the right of the last one. It works in fixed format outputs like FORMAT WP or PDF, or old green screen Mainframe reports.

In WebFOCUS you can experiment with the syntax using this code:

TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT CAR IN +50
BY COUNTRY
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT PDF
END

I'm assuming "IN" is an abbreviation for "INDENT".

Yes, the "more mature" members of the forum will remember it.

And from what I have seen, it is ignored when you use CSS classes for styling
