The value in the Label position field specifies the column position for the label. The maximum value is 40. 2
The value in the Command position field specifies the column position for the command. This value must be greater than the Label position value, unless you select the Label above command check box, in which case, the command can appear directly beneath or even to the left of the label, on the next line. The maximum value is 50. 14

The value in the Line Length field specifies the line length that the formatter should use when formatting source. When *RCDLEN is used for local files, the formatter defaults to a line length of 120. If the record length of the source physical files is smaller than the specified preference, the formatter will use record length instead. 120

Select the One parameter per line check box if only want one parameter to appear on each line. Off
