Printing numbers in columns
Quick reference
To define the positions in which cell counts will be printed relative to the column headings defined on g statements, type:
p x [x .... ]
where x is any non-blank character.
More information
Each group of g statements must be followed by a p statement showing where numbers are to be printed in relation to the column texts. The p statement is formatted as follows:
p x x ...
where x is any non-blank character. Absolute figures are then right-justified in the columns marked with a character.
Columns of figures can be separated by vertical lines. These are initiated by a vertical bar in the appropriate columns of the p statement, thus:
l ax04
col 109;Base;Single;Married;Divorced;Widowed
g Marital Status
gBase Single Married Divorced Widowed
p x | x | x | x | x
produces:
Marital Status
Base Single Married Divorced Widowed
Base 200 | 44 | 122 | 33 | 1
Male 44 | 6 | 27 | 10 | 1
Female 156 | 38 | 95 | 23 | 0 |
