&TYPE STATEMENT EXEC statement Use the &TYPE control statement to display a line of tokens at the terminal. The format of the &TYPE control statement is: +-----------+-----------------------------------------------------------------+ | &TYPE | [tok1 [tok2 ... [tokn]]] | +-----------+-----------------------------------------------------------------+ where: tok1 [tok2... [tokn]] specify the tokens to be displayed. All tokens are padded or truncated to eight characters. If no tokens are specified, a null line is displayed. Usage Notes: 1. Lines displayed with the &TYPE control statement are scanned by the EXEC interpreter and variable symbols are substituted before the line is displayed. To display one or more unscanned lines, use the &BEGTYPE or &BEGTYPE ALL control statements. 2. To avoid truncation of words at 8 characters, and / or to preserve blanks between words, use the EMIT command. For more information, type HELP EMIT.
