EVFU Format in Execute Mode

The Execute command shown on the next page, derived from the Execute command format on page 59, illustrates how the EVFU data above is incorporated into the Execute command. All other Execute command parameters are shown in italics. (Optional parameters are shown in brackets [ ].) Figure 58 on page 291 illustrates the printed output from this data.

The boldface line below the EXECUTE command represents the hexadecimal EVFU load sequence which identifies the channel codes at which overlay data will be placed on each form. The example hex values correspond to the line identification codes listed above. Channel codes not described above as Filler channels are assigned unique hex codes. Calls to these channels will print overlay data at specific positions on the form.

The two ~AF lines, also shown in italics, represent the dynamic data. While the EVFU does not affect dynamic data positioning (data placement is defined by the ALPHA statement when the form was created), the commands are shown to specify where they would occur in relation to the EXECUTE command, the EVFU load sequence, and the overlay data.
