FDL statistics

If a form is compiled successfully, the following FDL statistics are displayed on the summary sheet.

·Size of the source output file (FSL)

·Size of the printable form file (FRM)

·Size of the form image buffer

·Amount of font memory used by the form.

Grid unit scaling

Table 4-3 shows grid unit scaling specifications when the grid parameters are omitted or specified.

	Table 4-3	Grid unit scaling specifications

Grid unit specification	System response

Omitted: default scaling	When the system receives the FORM id command, it sets grid
	scaling to that of FMT1; if it subsequently receives the
	PORTRAIT command, it sets the scale to that of FMT6.

Specified in GRID command	Replaces default scaling.

Specified in BOX or LINE	Replaces GRID command scaling for that command only
command (IN unit)	(becomes the default scaling).

Specified for a parameter	Overrides any scaling specified via GRID, BOX, or LINE
	commands for the parameter only. Examples:
	GRID 1 INCH;
	AT 2 CM LINE FROM 3 TO 1500 DOTS;
	COMMENT EQUIVALENT TO: AT 2 CM LINE
	FROM 3 INCHES TO 1500 DOTS;
	AT 2 LINE IN CM FROM 3 INCHES TO 1500 DOTS;
	COMMENT EQUIVALENT TO: AT 2 CM LINE FROM 3 INCHES TO
	1500DOTS;
