&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.
