NUMCOL Command
NUMCOL Command
The NUMCOL command alters the number of columns displayed when a job is listed.
number-of-columns
is the number of columns, counting from the left margin, that are to be displayed or
printed.
Considerations
•
When Spoolcom is first run, the value for NUMCOL is 0, and the width of the
printing device determines the number of columns to be printed. If NUMCOL is set
to a value other than 0, the value specified is used as the output width. An even
value is recommended. NUMCOL cannot be set to a value less than zero.
•
NUMCOL can be used with STARTCOL to list only a few columns of a job.
•
Use the ENV command to display current settings for NUMCOL.
Example
In the example below, you display lines of your spooled file on your page-mode
terminal by pressing the F2 function key, which displays four lines:
Using the NUMCOL command, you can stop the display of all columns to the right of
the eighteenth column. You can redisplay the same lines by using the PAGE
command with the * parameter before pressing the same function key.
