Creating a Form and Adding Form Components

Creating a Form and Adding Form Components

4.Create the form and start adding the form components from the layout grid. (Refer to Figure 55 on page 241.) Use the Special Function Control Character and Create command to define a form named HCBOATS. Use the Box command to define the outer border with a line thickness (LT) 3, top left corner at row (SR) 11 column (SC) 10, and bottom right corner at row (ER) 55, column (EC) 70. In the same Box command sequence, define another box with a line thickness of 2, top left corner at row 28 column 14, and bottom right corner at row 44.9 column 66. After defining the boxes, stop the Box command.

Enter	Format
~CREATE;HCBOATS	(cc)CREATE;[/]formname[;FL]
BOX	BOX
3;11;10;55;70	LT;SR;SC;ER;EC
2;28;14;44.9;66
STOP	STOP

5.Mr. Handcraft would like corners around the slogan. Use the Corner command to define a line thickness (LT) of 2, top left corner at row (SR)

48column (SC) 24, and bottom right corner at row (ER) 52 column (EC)

56.Make the vertical (VL) corner piece 4 spaces long and the horizontal (HL) corner piece 5 spaces long. Then stop the Corner command.

Enter	Format
CORNER	CORNER
2;48;24;52;56;4;5	LT;SR;SC;ER;EC;VL;HL
STOP	STOP

6.To make the columns for the special order items, add two vertical lines each with a line thickness (LT) of 1, one line in column (C) 22 and the other line in column 58. Each line will start at row (SR) 28 and end at row (ER) 44.9.

Enter	Format
VERT	VERT
1;22;28;44.9	LT;C;SR;ER
1;58;28;44.9
STOP	STOP

7.To add the horizontal lines, define one line and then duplicate that line using the Vertical Duplication command. The line will have a single line thickness (LT), be in row (R) 30.4, starting in column (SC) 14 and ending in column (EC) 66. With vertical duplication, the line will be duplicated (dup #) 6 times with 2.5 row offset (offset #) spacing between each duplication. The Vertical Duplication command must be input, the horizontal line being duplicated must be input, and the Vertical Duplication command must be turned off.
