Syntax Description
- w
-
specifies the width of the output field.
Default: 200 Range: 1-32000
| Details |
The $VSLOGw. format is used when transferring data that is stored in visual order. An example is transferring data from a UNIX server to a Windows client.
Note: The $VSLOGw. format does not correctly process all combinations of data
strings. ![[cautionend]](../../../../common/61991/HTML/default/images/cautend.gif)
| Comparisons |
The $VSLOGw. format performs processing that is opposite to the $VSLOGRw. format.
| Examples |
The following example uses the Hebrew input value of
"
