Roland Heyder aeb9c0668b Updates help files for use with new Wiki parser (2nd try)
Note: Many files were removed (not yet existing/empty pages). The parser will try to download them on demand and will auto-generate text for missing pages (eg. most _gl pages).

The {{KW|SPC}} function is used in [[PRINT]] and [[LPRINT]] statements to print or output a number of space characters.
{{PageSyntax}}
::: '''SPC({{Parameter|count%}})'''
{{Parameters}}
* ''count'' designates the number of column spaces to move the cursor in a [[PRINT]] statement.
''Usage:''
* When used in a [[PRINT]] statement,
** {{Parameter|count%}} is the number of space characters to print, overwriting existing characters.
** If {{Parameter|count%}} is greater than the number of columns left in the current row, remaining space characters are printed on the next row.
* When used in a [[PRINT (file statement)|PRINT #]] statement,
** {{Parameter|count%}} is the number of space characters to output.
** If {{Parameter|count%}} is less than or equal to zero, the function has no effect.
