Syntax

{ SETCENTER charPosition }

Parameters

charPosition

Integer representing a character position on your page. Character position is counted from the left edge of the page and is not affected by the left margin setting.

Notes

Under normal circumstances, the center of the page is calculated based on the default page width and the left margin position until column members have been encountered, after which it defaults to the center of the data column area.

The SETCENTER command allows you to issue an arbitrary centerline position, which is then used for all centered text, including page headers. This can be helpful to center text before all the members defining the columns (and thus, the page width). It can also be used to reset the center in cases where the centering is not appealing when based on the exact center of the data columns.
