Squeeze

Syntax​

Squeeze

Parameters​

None.

Description​

Removes extra column spacing between the preceding and succeeding fields, joining them with only a single space.

Remarks​

This is primarily used to print a competitor's first and last names together as a single block of text. Fields printed after the squeezed pair will line up correctly. It is often used within a separate listing file (e.g., FIELDLST) and included in multiple reports to ensure consistent name formatting.

Examples​

To print first and last names together with one space:

Field               FIRST NAME
Squeeze
Field               LASTNAME

An example of a reusable FIELDLST file that combines names:

Field               FIRST NAME
Field Header        NAME
Field Length        7
Squeeze
Field               LAST NAME
Field Header
Field Length        11
