| WIDTH Statement Details |

| Syntax |
| WIDTH [columns][,lines] |
| WIDTH {#filenumber | device},width |
| WIDTH LPRINT width |
| |
| Both files and devices can be assigned an output-line width. |
| |
| Syntax Description |
| WIDTH [columns][,lines] Sets the number of columns and lines to |
| display on the screen. |
| |
| The value of columns must be either 40 or |
| 80. The default value is 80. |
| |
| The value of lines may be 25, 30, 43, 50, |
| or 60, depending on the display adapter |
| used and the screen mode (see the SCREEN |
| statement help topic for more information). |
| The number of lines displayed when the program |
| started will determine the default value. |
| |
| WIDTH #filenumber,width Sets the line width of an output device opened |
| as a file (for example, LPT1: or CONS:). |
| |
| The filenumber argument is the number |
| associated with the file in the OPEN |
| statement. |
| |
| This form permits altering the width while |
| a file is open, since the statement takes |
| place immediately. |
| |
| WIDTH device,width Sets the line width of device (a device file |
| name). |
| |
| The device should be a string expression |
| (for example, "CONS:"). |
| |
| Note that this width assignment is deferred |
| until the next OPEN statement affecting the |
| device; the assignment does not affect output |
| for an already open file. |
| |
| WIDTH LPRINT width Sets to width the line width of the line |
| printer, for use by subsequent LPRINT |
| statements. |
