SUPFORMATS

Suppresses formats that produce extra output such as underlines and skips.

Syntax

{ SUPFORMATS }

Notes

The SUPFORMATS command is used in those instances where you need to suppress formats which produce output, such as underlines, skips, etc., because the data row with which the formats are associated is automatically (and therefore unpredictably) suppressed due to commands such as SUPMISSING. Otherwise, a page could be filled with "orphan" underlines and no data. If you want to retain formatting in this case, you need to turn the formats on by using the INCFORMATS command.

Default Value

Set to "ON" by default when the SUPMASK, SUPMISSING, or SUPZERO commands are used.
