LSET
RSET
To move data from memory to a random file buffer
(in preparation for a POT statement).
If
were
FIELDed
to
variable>, LSET left-justifies the string in the field, and RSET right-justifies the string. (Spaces are used to pad the extra positions.) If the string is too long for the field, characters are dropped from the right. Numeric values must be converted to strings before they are LSET or RSET. See the MKI$, MKS$, MKD$ functions, Section 3.25. 150 LSET A$-MKS$(AMT) 160 LSET D$-OESC($) See also Appendix B. LSET or RSET may also be used with string variable to left-justify or a string in a g~ven field. For program lines a non-fielded right-justify example, the 110 A$-SPACE$(20) 120 RSET A$=N$ right-justify the string N$ in a 20-character field. This can be very handy for formatting printed output.
