FORMAT Control<br />

Purpose:<br />

The FORMAT control word cancels a previous NO FORMAT control<br />

word (or NO CONCATENATE and/or NO JUSTIFY control word),<br />

causing concatenation and right justification of output<br />

lines to resume.<br />

Format:<br />

Usage:<br />

.FI or .FO<br />

The FORMAT control word is a shorthand way to specify the<br />

two control words: CONCATENATE and JUSTIFY. This control<br />

specifies that lines are to be formed by shifting words to<br />

or froID the next line (concatenate) and padded with extra<br />

blanks to produce an even right margin (justify). Since<br />

this is the normal mode of operation for the SCRIPT command,<br />

FORMAT is only included to cancel a previous NO FORMAT<br />

control word.<br />

Notes:<br />

a. This control acts as a BREAK.<br />

b. If a line without any blanks exceeds the current line<br />

length, it is truncated.<br />

c. The .FI form of the control word is provided for<br />

compatibility with old SCRIPT file and should not be used in<br />

new files.<br />

Example:<br />

.FO<br />

Output from this point on in the file is padded to produce<br />

an even right margin on the output page.<br />
