{NAMEWIDTH}

Command

Syntax

{ NAMEWIDTH [ width ] }

width Optional. Specifies the total number of characters displayed for each column.

Default Value

Description

This command determines the width of the column for all row member names in the report. Member names are truncated when necessary to fit in the column and the tilde character(~) signifies that there are letters not visible in the report.
