In this report, the items in the PART NUMBER and WAREHOUSE LOCATION

columns are centered and the items in the ITEMS IN STOCK column have defaulted to

right-aligned.

If you prefer to center all data items on the report, the LIST statement can be

conveniently entered as:

LIST partnum HEADING "PART NUMBER",

inventory HEADING "ITEMS/IN STOCK",

location HEADING "WAREHOUSE/LOCATION",

CENTER ALL;

Using the Space Clause to

Control Spacing Between

Columns

Unless your printer or display screen is restricted in width, it is preferable to space the

columns on the report instead of using the ENFORM default of two spaces between

columns. Spacing columns with the ENFORM SPACE clause can improve the report’s

readability.
