2:Statement 2 *SCALE L1 6 10
3:Statement 3 *SCALE L1 6 10
4:Very long statements may be placed in one line, because the TAB will force a linewrap *SCALE L1 6 10
Note that tabs are used between heading texts and behind all code labels.
Result
Note:
The value 10 in *SCALE is ignored: the system calculates the scale distance using the *TAB command. Note that the distance between the scales is always equal. *TAB definitions above 100 are ignored.
In NIPO CAPI, using stylesheets it is also possible to center the scale-boxes under the text.
