Setup commands
Before entering commands to describe a form, enter the setup
commands to specify the following:
•
FORM command
•
PAPER command
•
LANDSCAPE/PORTRAIT command
•
GRID command
•
FONT command
Of the setup commands, only the FORM command is always
required. The others are optional. (If they are not defined, the
defaults are used.) The FONT command is also required if text is to
be included on the form.
FORM command
The FORM command defines the name of the form. Once the form is
compiled and stored on the system disk, this is the name used by the
LPS software to reference the form.
The FORM command must be the first command in the form
definition and must be completely contained in the first record of the
form definition.
Naming the form The FORM id portion is mandatory. The format is as follows:
FORM id;
The “id” portion is a one- to six-character identifier that references
the form. Reserved words (for example, FORM, GRID, FONT, TEXT,
BOX, LOGO, and so forth) cannot be used for the id. However,
reserved words can be appended and used as the id; for example,
FORM1, FORM2, and so forth.
Example:
FORM 3BOXES;
