SET(PAD) Determines whether DECTPU pads the end of lines with blanks instead of ending a line at the end of record. Thus, when video attributes are applied to a padded window, it has an even or "boxed" appearence on the right side. This only affects the display; it does NOT change the text. Disabling padding improves performance. You enable padding for special visual effects. Syntax SET (PAD, window {OFF | ON} Parameters window The window in which you want to set padding on or off. OFF Specifies that lines on the screen stop at the last character of a record. When video attributes are applied to the window, it has an uneven or ragged appearance at the right side. This is the default setting. ON Specifies that DECTPU pads the end of a line by adding blanks after the last character of a record, until the right edge of the window. If there are not enough lines in the buffer to fill an entire window, DECTPU adds blank lines from the end-of-buffer line to the end of the window. Example The following statements turn padding on and display the window in reverse video; the padding gives the window an even, or boxed, right side: SET (PAD, second_window, ON); SET (VIDEO, second_window, REVERSE); Related topics SET(PAD_OVERSTRUCK_TABS) SET(VIDEO)
