AUTOFORMAT (AF)

For fixed-format COBOL source programs (the default unless you use compiler directive SOURCEFORMAT(FREE)), AUTOFORMAT changes the margins from 8-71 to 1-250 for any copybook included inside an EXEC HTML block. This preserves any HTML formatting created with the <PRE> tag.

Syntax:

>>-.---.-.----.-AUTOFORMAT-.--.----------><
   +-/-+ |    +-AF---------+  |
         |                    |
         +-NO-.-AUTOFORMAT-.--+
              +-AF---------+

Parameters:

None

Default:	AUTOFORMAT
