VAXTPU SET(MARGINS) — VMS 5.2

 SET(MARGINS)

 Sets or changes the left and right margins of a specified buffer.

 Syntax

    SET (MARGINS, buffer, integer1, integer2)

 Parameters

    buffer     The buffer for which you want to set or change the margins.

    integer1   The column at which the left margin is to be set.  This must
               be at least 1 and equal to or greater than the right margin
               (integer2).

    integer2   The column at which the right margin is to be set.  This
               must be less than the maximum record size for the buffer and
               greater than the left margin (integer1).

 Example

    SET (MARGINS, main_buffer, 5, 70);

 Sets the left margin of the main buffer at column 5, and the right margin
 at column 68.  These values are used by the FILL built-in for filling text
 in the buffer.
