(See page 66 for a tip on use of ‘>’ and ‘<‘)

Overlay:

The name of the overlay to be used as sub-overlay. If the name

 

entered here is MACROxxxxx where xxxxx represents a numeric

 

number (e.g. MACRO00001) InterForm400® will make a PCL

 

macro call using this number. This will require the PCL macro to

 

be loaded into the printer prior to using the main overlay. The

 

PCL file can be loaded into the printer by the InterForm400®

Number of

HPMACRO command (see page 402, 416).

 

 

lines to remap:

This parameter is used to pass on a line interval to a sub-overlay

 

which can process the lines with Remap Windows or Tabulator

 

commands. The first line of the interval will be the line defined by

Input line of the line interval and will be regarded as line 1 in the sub-overlay, i.e. the sub-overlay will consider the interval as a virtual spool entry to process.

Defining *VAR for this function, will cause this If..then command to continue checking all lines starting from the beginning of the input line interval, until another If..then command is met, provided that it is within the line interval of the original If..then command. If conditions for more If..then commands are true concurrently, the field Lines to remap is only used from the last If..then command.

This feature is designed specifically to format item lines printed in varying lines, and with varying number of lines between the item groups (see example page 107).

Vertical cursor repositioning

When you enter a number of lines to remap (other than 0) you are prompted for a vertical repositioning like below:
