WINPRINT-COLUMN takes the standard print line supplied by the COBOL program and breaks it up into "zones" of data, where each zone is printed at a specified column position on the page. Initially, there is only one column that starts at the left margin, has no "separation zone" between columns and has an alignment of WPRTALIGN-NONE. When printing, if there are more input columns than output columns, the unmatched input columns are not printed. If there are more output columns than input columns, the unmatched output columns are printed as if the data for those columns consisted of spaces.
Two op-codes control the "input" by specifying the zones in the print line. (This is similar to the DATA-COLUMNS property of the LIST-BOX control.):
Three op-codes control the "output" by specifying the page layout. (This is similar to the DISPLAY-COLUMNS property of the LIST-BOX control.)
The following operation codes use the data item WINPRINT-COLUMN (defined in "winprint.def").
