SUPFORMATS

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

Syntax

{ SUPFORMATS }

Default Value

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

Description

This command is used to suppress formats which produce output such as underlines and skips. 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 would need to specifically turn the formats on by using the INCFORMATS command.
