\ap\pa
          column = column reference(s) of the listed column(s).

                   All the columns  are listed by default
\ap\pa
          elem1  = [optional] sequence number of the element to be printed, 
	           or lower limit if elem2 is specified
\ap\pa
          elem2  = [optional] upper sequence number to be printed

          N      = optional parameter; when used , the command 
                   will NOT print the header of the table
\ap\pa
          width  = optional number of characters per line in the output 
                   file/device. This parameter has only an effect when no

                   When a format file is specified, the maximum number of 
                   characters per line will be calculated automatically.

          for which a DEFINE/FIELD statement is defined.
