Anthony, et. al.

The 999 is what SQR calls an "edit mask".  These are explained as part of
the PRINT command in the SQR maual.

One thing about an edit mask of 999, though - it will also pad the output
with spaces.  So if the page number here was 31, the output would be " 31",
not "31".  This is a technique that is often used to line up columns of data
on an SQR report.

Happy to help,
- Mark

                Thanks for that.

                I am just beginning sqr programming.

                Cheers.

                It edits the printed output to the format specified.
                For example, if you do a DISPLAY play #page-count, you might
see 31.0000
                (something like that) but when you use an edit option, what
will be printed
                out will be 31

                Hope that helps.
