Definition

A report can consist of several pages (with regard to both length and width). This parameter defines whether the resulting page matrix should be printed by column or by row.

Possible entries:

  • 'X' = column print pattern
  • ' ' = row print pattern

Example:

1 | 4 | 7 by column: 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9
---+---+---
2 | 5 | 8 by row: 1,4,7,2,5,8,3,6,9
---+---+---
3 | 6 | 9
