Is there a way to tell dbaccess to make its output tabular?
That is
select * from tableyields
a value
b value
a value
b value
etc.
I would like to see
a b
-----------------------------
value value
value value
thanks.

As Russ Evans points out dbaccess switches from columnar output to
row-wise output if the display will not fit in 80 columns. There is
no way to change that, however, the IIUG Software Archive contains
at least one set of scripts to reformat the output to columnar output.
