Format of PRINT files

Data from SYSPRINT or other PRINT files is not normally formatted into columns and pages at the terminal. Three lines are always skipped for PAGE and LINE options and format items. The ENDPAGE condition is normally never raised. SKIP(n), where n is greater than three, causes only three lines to be skipped. SKIP(0) is implemented by carriage return.

You can cause a PRINT file to be formatted into pages by inserting a tab control table in your program. The table must be called PLITABS, and its contents are explained in Overriding the tab control table. For other than standard layout, use the information about PLITABS provided in Figure 11. You can also use PLITABS to alter the tabulating positions of list-directed and data-directed output.

Tabulating of list-directed and data-directed output is achieved by transmission of blank (space) characters.
