SET SPACE

Topic group Related topics Example

Determines whether dBASE Plus inserts a space between expressions displayed or printed with a single ? or ?? command.

Syntax

SET SPACE ON | off

Default

The default for SET SPACE is ON. To change the default, set the SPACE parameter in PLUS.ini.

Description

Use SET SPACE OFF when you use a single ? or ?? command to print a list of expressions and you don't want spaces between the expressions. If you want the expressions printed with spaces between them, issue SET SPACE ON.

SET SPACE has no effect on multiple ? or ?? commands. For example, if you issue the command ?? <exp> twice, the second instance of <exp> will be printed adjacent to the first, even if SET SPACE is ON. However, if SET SPACE is ON and you issue ?? <exp>, <exp> as a single command, there will be a space between the two instances of <exp>.
