Output can be printed in text mode using a columnar layout. The column statement enables configuration of the layout using the syntax: ``` local column NAME heading "HEADING" (width WIDTH) ``` The heading is printed above the column contents and the width in characters allows control of the column's width. The layout for a column can be undefined using ``` local column NAME clear ``` Output column definition is only relevant when working in the text mode offered by [[Invantive Data Hub]]. In non-text mode the column layout can be defined, but has no effect on output. # Examples The following example makes the first name column 5 characters and the second one 30, with custom headings: ``` local column FIRST_NAME heading "First Name" width 5 local column LAST_NAME heading "Last Name" width 30 select 'John' FIRST_NAME , 'Doe' LAST_NAME ```
