 _PLOFFSET System Variable

 

Included for backward compatibility. Use the Report Designer instead.

This system variable is undocumented in the original VFP9 help file,
but the following documentation was found in the FoxPro for Windows 2.6 help, and may still be valid:

Sets page offset.

_PLOFFSET = expN

_PLOFFSET is included for backward compatibility. Use the Report Writer instead.

_PLOFFSET contains a numeric value that determines the number of printer columns (the offset) from the left edge of the paper to the left edge of the text in all printed output. Output sent to the screen is not affected by _PLOFFSET. Additional _LMARGIN space is calculated from the _PLOFFSET.

_PLOFFSET can contain a value from 0 to 254. _PLOFFSET is equivalent to SET MARGIN. Adjusting either one automatically changes the other.

The setting of _PLOFFSET does not affect reports created with the Report Writer and run with REPORT FORM. Although _PLOFFSET is adjusted as a report created with the Report Writer runs, it returns to its original value after the report is run. The Printer Indent setting in the Page Layout dialog of the Report Writer determines the offset from the left edge of the paper.
