*L (PRINT)

ANSI

*L[={count}])

The *L list control set the current print position to the same respective horizontal position (column) on the next line.

The *L={count} list control sets the current print position to the same respective horizontal position (column) {count} lines down. {count} may be a decimal constant, a numeric variable, an Expression, or an equated variable.

It should be noted that some printers arbitrarily force a Carriage Return (*C) when an *L is executed (that possibly may be overridden through a firmware configuration option on the printer).
