&BEGTYPE STATEMENT                                               EXEC statement

Use the &BEGTYPE control statement to begin a list of one or more data lines to
be displayed at the terminal.  The list of lines to be displayed is terminated
by the control statement &END, which must occur beginning in column 1.  The
format of the &BEGTYPE control statement is:
+-----------+-----------------------------------------------------------------+
| &BEGTYPE  | [ALL]                                                           |
+-----------+-----------------------------------------------------------------+
where:

ALL      specifies, for fixed-length EXEC files, that data occupying columns 73
         through 130 is to be displayed.  If ALL is not specified, the lines
         are truncated at column 72.


Usage Note:

Lines that are displayed as the result of an &BEGTYPE control statement are not
scanned by the EXEC interpreter.  Therefore, no variable substitution is
performed, and data items are not truncated.  To display variable data, you
must use the &TYPE control statement.
