3.6.1 Points to note

Note the following when using the LINE command:
FONTINDEX
Although the maximum bit-opt value may be 7 (allowing a maximum font index value of
127), the maximum number of fonts is constrained by font memory size.
FONTINDEX and OVERPRINT
FONTINDEX, used in conjunction with overprinting, is handled as follows: For OVER-
PRINT=PRINT, the LCDS-Module overprints records analogously to an impact printer if the
fonts are the same size. If the fonts differ, records are overprinted without regard to char-
acter spacing. For OVERPRINT=MERGE, the LCDS-Module replaces characters in the
previous record which are blank. Character spacing values are adjusted; thus proportionally
spaced or different size fonts may be used, and the LCDS-Module performs the character
placement.
Characters in the previous record which are blank are replaced only when they are repre-
sented by an EBCDIC X40 or an ASCII X20. Binary character representations other than
an EBCDIC X40 or an ASCII X20, which produce a blank character when printed with a par-
ticular font, is not replaced except in the following case. During input processing, when a
binary character representation is greater than the highest character in the specified font,
a blank (EBCDIC X40 or ASCII X20) is substituted into that print position. (A sample of the
specified font shows the highest binary character representation.) In this case, the LCDS-
Module replaces this character since it is now an EBCDIC X'40' or an ASCII X'20' blank.

Definition(s)
The default is ANSI for offline.
With PCCTYPE=XEROX no special page overflow
functions are supported.
The default is IBM3211/IBM4245 for online.
vfu-id
The command identifier of the VFU table, which must
precede this reference to it. (Refer to the "Defining
print line positions" section.) The VFU table defines
print line positions corresponding to skip-to-channel
parameters for the job to be processed.
NONE
Indicates that any skip-to-channel parameter is to be
replaced by a carriage control of print and space 1.
The default is NONE.
