and have the format line be:
* *.* * *.* *
All repeated formats need not be identical (e.g., * and **), but they must be of the same mode.
If a controlling for phrase in a begin report statement is empty (produces no values), for example:
for I = 1 to 4, with X(I) > 0,
when no X(I) is greater than 0, the entire report section headed by this statement is skipped.
If it is not necessary that each set of column repetition groups start on a new page, the per page
clause may be omitted from the begin report statement. The following report section uses this
feature to display a matrix containing more columns than can be put on one line:
for I = 1 to N,
do
print 1 line with I as follows
ROW **
begin report printing
for J = 1 to M, in groups of 24
print 1 line with a group of X(I,J) fields as follows
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
end
'' OF REPORT
skip 2 lines
loop
Such a program produces a report that, for M = 50, looks like figure 3-4.
ROW 1
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

ROW 2
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Note: The total number of column indices generated need not be an even multiple of the group size
(e.g., 50 and 24 above).
