If you want to print the result as a report, you will probably want to set your own format specifications rather than use the defaults. You set format specifications by executing the ITEQ format commands listed in Table 9. (Any abbreviation allowed in keying a command is indicated in parentheses following the command syntax.)
Format commands may be executed in Format or Unformat mode. Once set, a format specification remains in effect during a session unless changed by a subsequent format command, or by the SET DEFAULTS command. Note that in all format commands, the word “SET” is optional and may be omitted.
