Table 5-24. FONTINDEX DJDE options and definitions
Definition
Indicates the byte offset in the data record where the font index number is
located.
(Refer to the "LINE OVERPRINT" parameter description in the "Specifying print
format parameters" chapter, for a discussion of FONTINDEX usage with
overprint lines and maximum number of fonts.)
initial value.
Index number associated with the first font in the font list (that is, the number
the font list starts with). This value can be one of the following:
• ONE specifies that an index value of 1 is associated with the first font in the
font list.
• ZERO specifies that an index value of 0 is associated with the first font in
the font list, an index value of 1 is associated with the second font in the
font list, and so forth.
The default for the initial font index value is ONE.
bit option
A numeral specifying the number of low order bits within the font index byte,
which, in turn, specifies an index value into the font list of the current PDE. The
bitopt value may be 1 through 7.
The default bitopt value is 4.
Specifies that there is no font index.

FONTINDEX DJDE: points to note

• The FONTINDEX DJDE takes effect at the next logical page
boundary.
• The FONTINDEX DJDE options are the same as for the LINE
FONTINDEX command).
• Because there is ambiguity between the FONTINDEX and
FONTS keywords, if either is abbreviated to the first three
letters, the keyword defaults to FONTINDEX.
• When multiple fonts of various sizes are used on a single
page, the line spacing of any particular line is determined by
the largest font in use in the previous line. The current line
can also be adjusted downward by the difference in height
between the first and the largest font in the current line. The
line spacing of the first line in a report is determined by the
first font in the PDE, provided the FONTINDEX JDL
command or DJDE has not been specified.
