VERTICALLY, VERT

The VERTICALLY display option keyword causes a vertical format report to be produced. The synonym VERT may be used.

 

 

Format

 

VERTICALLY

 

 

The LIST and SORT commands normally produce a tabular report unless the total width of the data to be reported exceeds that of the display or printer to which it is directed. The VERTICALLY keyword forces a vertical format report regardless of display width. A blank line is produced between each record in the report.

 

 

Example

 

The command

 

LIST INVOICES VALUE CUSTOMER.NAME WITH NO AMT.PAID

 

would produce a display such as that below.

 

LIST INVOICES VALUE CUSTOMER.NAME WITH NO AMT.PAID

Invoice  ...Value  Customer...................

74529    £1712.43  J McTavish

74273      £95.23  County Newspapers

63940     £141.00  R Bryant

3 records listed.
