HOST FORMS DESCRIPTION LANGUAGE

Example Text justified in a column:
COLUMN 1 INCH WIDE;
TEXT JUSTIFIED IN COLUMN AT 1,1
'four four four five five five six six six'
This produces the following text on the form:
four four
five five
six six
FONT n specifies the index number of the font you selected.
Refer to the FONT command for additional information.
INK n specifies the index number of the ink color you selected
from the ink list to use with a Xerox highlight or full color LPS
printer. The specified INK is in effect for this command and not
for subsequent TEXT commands.
C defines the coordinate you selected on the y –axis where the
y
text origin is located.
C defines the coordinate you selected on the x –axis where the
x
text origin is located.
'text' specifies a text string that appears exactly as you enter it
(except for special characters).
DOT LEADER specifies dot leaders you have selected to place
between text or at a column boundary. Dot leaders extend the
full width of the column you specify in the COLUMN command,
unless interrupted by a 'text' string. You can place dot leaders
between two text strings and a right boundary previously defined
by you in the COLUMN command. If you place dot leaders
between two text strings, the right most text string aligns with
the right column boundary.
Do not use DOT LEADER in the JUSTIFIED mode. DOT LEADER
overrides any alignment mode and places the text flush with the
column boundaries.
USING FONT n specifies a change of font for the next body of
text which is not the dot leader string. When you specify dot
leaders and a change of fonts together, the DOT LEADER
keywords must precede the FONT n keywords.
NEW LINE specifies a new line to follow a text string. You can
only use the NEW LINE keyword once between text strings.
NEW LINE is similar to a blank text string (' '). If you want to use
multiple blank lines between text strings, use multiple blank text
strings (' ' ' ' ' '), not NEW LINE. NEW LINE is ignored if it is not
used with DOT LEADER or FONT n .
Defaults HORIZONTAL and CENTER, if you do not specify the orientation
and alignment for the TEXT AT command.
Use the font index of the last TEXT command, if USING FONT is
not entered. If you omit FONT in all TEXT commands, FONT1
from the FONT list is used.
DOTS, if you do not specify units .
If a TEXT command containing a dot leader is not preceded by a
COLUMN command, the system uses a default column width of
6.5 inches (portrait) or 9.5 inches (landscape).
