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 Peruse 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.

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.
