Organising column labels


How do I amke sure that the characters here are laid out neatly? I have tried using the code current-window width:40. but it doesn't seem to work. I have included a screenshot below.

The code is all jumbled and not precise

Usually, on other programs, I don't get this problem, so I don't know why it's happening.


Solution

  • The window width is probably not what you want to be changing. The better option is to work with the frame definition. For instance:

    for each customer no-lock:
    
      display
        custNum
        name
        salesRep
       with
        frame custInfo
        width 60
        side-labels
        1 column
      .
    
    end.
