BOX Subcommand (SET command)

BOX specifies the characters that are used to draw table borders in text output. The specification is either a 3-character or 11-character quoted string, in which the characters have the following representations: 1=horizontal line, 2=vertical line, 3=middle (cross), 4=lower left corner, 5=upper left corner, 6=lower right corner, 7=upper right corner, 8=left T, 9=right T, 10=Top T, 11=bottom T.

  • The characters can be specified either as a quoted string or hexadecimal pairs. Specify an X before the quoted hexadecimal pairs.
  • The defaults vary from system to system. To display the current settings, use the SHOW command.
