_plineno

Topic group Related topics Example

Identifies or sets the current line number of streaming output.

Syntax

_plineno = <expN>

<expN>

The line number at which to begin printing. The valid range is 0 to _plength – 1. You can specify a fractional number for <expN> to position output accurately with a proportional font.

Default

The default for _plineno is 0.

Description

Use _plineno to position printing streaming output from commands such as ?, ??, and LIST.

The PROW( ) function also returns the current printhead position of the printer, but if SET PRINTER is OFF, the PROW( ) value doesn't change. _plineno, on the other hand, returns or assigns the current position in the streaming output regardless of the SET PRINTER setting.
