Text Length Command

The Text Length command designates the number of lines (at a given VMI) within the logical page available for printing text, the text area. This effectively defines the bottom margin.

?& l # F

#= Number of lines

Default = 1/2 inch less than maximum text length1

Range = Logical page length minus top margin

1 Maximum text length = INT(logical page length - top margin). However, if the max text length is less than ½inch, the text length is set to the maximum allowable.

The value field (#) sets the text length in lines referenced from the top margin. If a value greater than the logical page length minus the top margin is specified or if the current VMI is 0, the command is ignored. The user default text length is invoked whenever the orientation, page length, page size, or top margin is changed. The user default text length is computed as follows:

Note

The user default VMI is selectable using the control panel; VMI is

 

calculated from the FORM menu setting.

 

 

Example

To select a text length of 60 lines, send:
