Syntax

 

shift n

 

Description

 

The text in the report is shifted n characters to the right (or left, if n is negative).  If a report starts in column 1, but doesn't extend all the way to the right edge of the page, it is possible to shift the data to the right to allow for box drawing around text elements on the left margin.

 

The placement of relative shading, drawing, and attributes is determined before any shift.

 

See vshift also, for shifting text vertically.

 

Example:

 

shift 1 will shift all text 1 character to the right.
