NAME

comma - move to next print zone

SYNOPSIS

comma()

DESCRIPTION

Comma outputs blanks to the current file until the file’s position reaches the next print zone.  Print zones lie at 14 column intervals.  It is legal to write sequentially to a random file provided the write is entirely within the buffer. 

This function implements the comma separator of the PRINT and PRINT # statements. 

SEE ALSO

print(stmt), print #(stmt)

DIAGNOSTICS

Error 5 (Illegal function call) is generated if the file is open for input only.
