The FORMAT subcommand controls the appearance of the table. At least one of the following
attributes must be specified: MINCOLWIDTH, MAXCOLWIDTH, UNITS, EMPTY, or MISSING.
MINCOLWIDTH The minimum width of columns in the table. This includes the main tables as
well as any tables of significance tests. DEFAULT honors the column labels
setting in the current TableLook. The value must be less than or equal to the
setting for MAXCOLWIDTH.
MAXCOLWIDTH The maximum width of columns in the table. This includes the main tables as
well as any tables of significance tests. DEFAULT honors column labels setting
in the current TableLook. The value must be greater than or equal to the
setting for MINCOLWIDTH.
UNITS The measurement system for column width values. The default is POINTS.
You can also specify INCHES or CM (centimeters). UNITS is ignored unless
MINCOLWIDTH or MAXCOLWIDTH is specified.
