Re: Syntax help for print command

["Aultman, Steven (SMAU)" <SMAU@CHEVRON.COM>]

Joe,

The manual for PRINT says:

PRINT {any_column | variable | literal } {position} [format_command
[format_command parms]...]

The {position} is a general convention in SQR, (line_position, column
position, length)

Positions can be relative, e.g.(+1,+3,5) or absolute,e.g. (1,1,5).

If you don't have any manuals a good substitute can be found at the Ray
