MARGIN subcommand
A margin is the space from the edge of the page to the start of the content of a report. The MARGIN subcommand is used in a SETTING command to create an even margin around the page. The LEFTMARGIN subcommand, RIGHTMARGIN subcommand, TOPMARGIN subcommand, and BOTTOMMARGIN subcommand are necessary only when a variation from an even margin is desired.
The MARGIN subcommand can only be placed in a report in text mode. For more information, see Edit <report name>: Text Mode dialog. This function is not supported by the Report Editor. LEFTMARGIN, RIGHTMARGIN, TOPMARGIN, and BOTTOMMARGIN are supported by the Report Editor, using the Margins section of the Page Setup dialog.
Syntax
SETTING { MARGIN numeric-inches }
The numeric value is the size specified for the margin in inches, and can include up to two decimal places. The system default margin is 0.50 inches.
Example
The following example places a one-inch margin around the page.
