Using the .FILLRT (fill right) Command

Using the .FILLRT (fill right) Command

If your page is set up in row format, as opposed to columns, you can use the .FILLRT (fill right) command to fill in the cells to the right of a code you choose with the same codes.

The syntax for the .FILLRT command is:

.FILLRT <start> <end>

where <start> is the group from which the fill command derives the layout, and <end> is the group at which the fill command stops.

To fill the layout of a group arranged vertically, you would type the following:

.FILLRT

and press b. This fills the remainder of the quote window with the code arrangement of the column in the layout.

You can also specify which code group to fill, and how many columns to create. For example, if you wanted to fill in columns three and four with the same layout in the group (row) containing the variable $2, you would type the following:

.FILLRT 2 4

and then press b. This would fill in columns three and four with the code layout in group two. This would also change the variables in the new rows to $3 and $4, respectively.
