Horizontal Cursor Position (Columns)

Purpose The Horizontal Cursor Position (Columns) defines the absolute or relative position of the horizontal cursor in units of columns on the current line. The width of a column is defined by the current Horizontal Motion Index (HMI) setting.

Syntax

Example

E&a#C

where # is the number of columns to move or the column to move to. The # is valid up to four places to the right of the decimal point.

Absolute move: If the # value has no sign, the cursor is moved to column #.

Relative move, positive: If the # value is preceded by a plus (+) sign, the cursor is moved # columns to the right of the current cursor position.

Relative move, negative: If the # value is preceded by a minus (-) sign, the cursor is moved # columns to the left of the current cursor position.

If the # value specifies a column beyond the left or right edges of the printable area, the cursor is moved to the appropriate edge of the printable area.

To move the current print position to column 30 from column 5, enter:

E&a30C

Hex

1B 26 61 33 30 43

Dec

27 38 97 51 48 67

or, as a relative move,

E&a+25C

Hex

1B 26 61 2B 32 35 43

Dec

27 38 97 43 50 53 67

Horizontal Cursor Position (Decipoints)

Purpose The Horizontal Cursor Position (Decipoints) defines the absolute or relative position of the horizontal cursor in units of decipoints (1/720th of an inch). Position 0 is flush with the left boundary of the printable area.
