Examples

Example 3

To reset the output alignment position to correspond to the model, an exclamation point (!) can be used.

MODEL:	<$TONAME>,<$MR>	!LIBCODE = <$LIBCODE>

OUTPUT:     MPS100,000312	LIBCODE = SRCE

Example 4

To illustrate how the length of keyword values effect positioning on the modeling output. Without the !, positioning in the output record might change.

MODEL:   <$TONAME>,<$MR>   LIBCODE = <$LIBCODE>

OUTPUT1: APT100,000312   LIBCODE = SRCE
OUTPUT2: XX,000312     LIBCODE = SRCE

Note that the blanks in the model are preserved but the LIBCODE=portion of the output slides to the left because the names of the keywords (for example, <$TONAME>) are longer than the values they replace.
