$LPFIELD

The $LPFIELD macro is used to specify different processing of fields within one record. These fields can be placed in different positions, or they can be printed in different fonts. A field can also be fixed text instead of data from the file.

$LPFIELD ACROSS=<999 | 0>,  
         DOWN=<999 | 300>,  
         FONT=<xxxxxxxx>,   
         LENGTH=<99 | 1>,   
         START=<99 | 1>,    
         TEXT=YES/NO
