page-width Number of columns on a page of paper.

output-dest Destinationof dictionary output. If file SDOUT isalready redirected, the current out-
put file is closed and SDOUT is now redirected to output-dest.
If you enter the command in response to a command prompt, the file is defined as the
output file until you redefine it or for the duration of the session (whichever comes
first). If the file is declared in a stored report, it is defined as the output file for the
duration of that stored report only. After the completion of the command, the output
file reverts to the same file as before the execution of the stored command.
There are three options for this parameter:
TERMINAL The output appears on the screen (or to the batch job listing if
running in batch mode)
PRINTER The output is sent to the line printer (dev=LP)
file-name The output is written to the specified file. If the file does not
exist, a new file by that name is created. If the file exists, the new data is appended to
the endofthe file. Youcan also use fileequate and back-referencing to definethis file,
that is, *file1.
Because "TERMINAL" and "PRINTER" are reserved words, they have special mean-
ing in SDMAIN and define either the terminal or the printer, respectively, as the out-
put destination. Accordingly, output cannot be redirected to a file with either of these
names.
SINGLE-SPACE Specifies single spacing of dictionary output between items. Information about each
item is always single-spaced after the item name. This is the default spacing option.
DOUBLE-SPACE Specifies double spacing of dictionary output between items. Information about each
item is always single-spaced after the item name.
PAGE Specifies placement of each item on a new page. When the end of an item is encoun-
tered, the remainder of the page is filled with blank lines and the next item is posi-
tioned at the top of the following page. Information about each item is always single-
