MARGIN Syntax: MARGIN left-margin[,right-margin] Placement: Place the MARGIN command before the REPORT command. Discussion: The MARGIN command specifies the left and right margins for a report, or the record size for reports that are being written to disk with the PRINTER command. Type the number of spaces from the printer's left margin that the first character will print, optionally followed by the number of spaces from the left margin that the last characters will print at the right margin. The default left and right margins are 0 and 151, respectively.

When printing a report to a disk file (sequential), always set the left margin at zero. Set the right margin to the record size of the file. The maximum record size is 8000. The default record size is 152.
