Coding Considerations › Input Column Range

Input Column Range

You can code DDDL source statements on a single line or on multiple lines, in columns 1 through 80. However, the IDD installation procedure establishes these default input ranges:

• Batch compiler— 1 through 72
• Full-screen mode— 1 through 79
• Line mode— 1 through 80

You can override input range defaults by using the INPUT COLUMNS ARE clause of the SET OPTIONS statement (see SET OPTIONS Syntax).
