Arranging the Report Data

You can specify the arrangement of report data across the page and down the page, using either the Parameter fill‑in or the Detail fill‑in.

The Parameter fill‑in defines the spacing between fields globally. You can specify a numeric value from 1 through 66. When you specify a numeric value, that number of spaces is inserted between the fields, regardless of the report width. You can specify automatic spacing using A. When you select automatic spacing, RDF calculates the space between each report column field in the following order:

1. Subtracting the total number of characters in the fields on the printed line from the report width.
2. Taking that result and dividing it equally between the fields.

The Detail fill‑in specifies individual field placement. It overrides the Parameter fill‑in specification for spaces between the fields.
