LPOS Function
 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------


 Action

 Returns the number of characters sent to the printer since the last carriage
 return was sent.


 Syntax



  LPOS( n%)


 Remarks


 The argument  n% is an integer expression with a value between 0 and 3 that
 indicates one of the printers. For example, LPT1 would be tested with
 LPOS(1) or LPOS(0), LPT2 would be tested with LPOS(2), and LPT3 would be
 tested with LPOS(3).

 The  LPOS function does not necessarily give the physical position of the
 print head because it does not expand tab characters. In addition, some
 printers may buffer characters.


 Example

 See the  LPRINT statement programming example, which uses the  LPOS
 function.
