COLUMN

COLUMN specifies the position in the current line of a report where output of the next value in a PRINT statement begins, or in the current line of the Line mode overlay for the next value in a DISPLAY statement.

left-offset is an integer expression in a report, or else a literal integer in a DISPLAY statement, to specify where the next character of output will appear.

The left-offset specifies a character position offset from the left margin of the Line mode overlay or currently executing 4GL report. In a report, this cannot be greater than the arithmetic difference (right margin - left margin) for explicit or default values in the OUTPUT section of the REPORT program block.
