We are not sure in which line the footer will appear, so we will just check all lines from 1 to 70.

The horizontal position of the text “This” will always be fixed in position 11-14.

We enter the the name of the sub-overlay SUB2, which we will create later for formatting of the footer.

We define 5 for Number of lines to remap, as we do not expect the footer to consist of more than 5 lines.

We define A (or blank) for upper edge, which means the sub overlay will control the vertical position. We press Enter and we get the following screen:

Vertical cursor repositioning before execute of sub overlay

Position related to actual position

Number of pels . . __0 ( -99 - 99 )

Or reposition related to previous non blank input line

Number of pels . . ___ ( 0 - 999 )

F3=ExitF12=Cancel

The sub-overlay will control the vertical placement, so we just state 0 for this offset.

We now press Enter to save the If..then line and press F3 to exit the overlay. We enter 1. Design Overlay again, and we create the first of our sub-.overlays SUB1:

Here we create a 9. Remap Window line, which we will use to format the item header:
