Definition

This parameter defines the number of blank spaces that are to be printed between the amount or unit of measure and the right column margin.

Using the format groups in the column sets, you can define up to six column margins of different widths for one report.

Note

When defining the column width, you should take into account that the column width reserved for the amount is reduced by the unit width, the right margin, and an additional blank space between the amount and unit.

The formulas for this are as follows:

  • The unit width equals 0:

    Width for amount = column width - right margin

  • The unit width is greater than 0:

    Width for amount = column width - unit width - right margin - 1

Example

  • Right margin:     0
    Unit width:     0
