CLW is a numeric format. The standard setting is CLW5.

CLW specifies the width in characters of the columns of a table.

Additional space between columns is allocated at print time to provide a blank space between each column; the amount of space is specified by format CLG. If a number will not fit into the space allocated by CLW, then it will be replaced by ">>" (format PNL).

If the text specified for a column is more than CLW characters, it is split and a warning message printed if format WSH is set.
