Parameters LANDSCAPE specifies the landscape form orientation. If you
only specify LANDSCAPE, grid units and form origin correspond
to the standard grid format (FMT1).
PORTRAIT specifies the portrait form orientation. If you only
specify PORTRAIT, grid units and form origin correspond to the
standard grid format for the portrait page (FMT6), unless you
change them with the GRID command.
Refer to the "FMT grid format properties" appendix for more
information.
PAGE, SIZE, and IS specifies the width and height of the virtual
page.
The value you use to specify the special page size is n. You must
use positive numbers and you cannot exceed the size specified
in the PAPER SIZE command. You can use two decimal places
when you specify inches. You must express DOTS and XDOTS
as integers.
units indicates the unit of measure you want to use when
specifying the size of the virtual page. The units you can choose
are INCHES, CENTIMETERS, DOTS, and XDOTS. You can use
two decimal places when you specify inches and centimeters.
You must express DOTS and XDOTS as integers.
