Remarks

This set of commands is used for shifting data left or right. The versions using parenthesis shift text liter- ally, while the other versions attempt to intelligently shift text without disturbing line numbers or com- ments. In all cases, the default number of columns that the text is shifted is two.

There are two forms to these commands. The single character forms (, ), <, or > specifies that the line and the subsequent n-1lines are to be shifted. The two-character block forms are placed on the first and last lines of the block to be shifted.

Data is shifted only within the columns defined by the current bounds, or if bounds is turned off, but there is a truncation column, between column 1 and the truncation column. If the shift operation results in data moving beyond the right or left margins, it is truncated and there is no warning message.
