location on the form. The SR and SC

 

 

parameters specify the exact location of the

 

 

alphanumeric field identified by n.

 

c.

Replace L with a number equal to the number

 

 

of characters in the dynamic alphanumeric

 

 

string ranging from 1 through 512.

 

d.

Dynamically enter the alphanumeric string

 

 

itself in the Execute Form mode. The length of

 

 

the alphanumeric string must be equal to or

 

 

less than the value assigned to the length (L)

 

 

parameter. Refer to “Execute Form: Dynamic

 

 

Alphanumeric Data” on page 62.

 

e.

If the dynamic data field is used, do not enter

 

 

the ASCII TEXT parameter.

DIR

Optional parameter for rotating a character string.

 

Use the following codes to indicate the direction of

 

character rotation:

 

a.

Enter CW for 90 degree clockwise rotation.

 

b.

Enter CCW for 90 degree counterclockwise

 

 

rotation.

 

c.

Enter INV for inverted characters (180 degree

 

 

rotation).

 

The default orientation prints character strings in

 

the standard horizontal format.

UC

Enter UC to specify uppercase-only characters.

 

When uppercase-only is specified, all lowercase

 

alpha character codes are converted automatically

 

to uppercase. Consequently, do not specify

 

uppercase-only characters if lowercase characters

 

are required.

DARK

Optional parameter to produce bolder text. Enter

 

DARK or D. (D is also allowed in the ALPHA

 

command only.) More information about dark

 

printing is provided on page 28.

SR

Defines the starting row of the alphanumeric data.

 

Enter a value ranging from row 1 through one less

 

than the length of the form. Character row or dot

 

row is specified based on the Scale command

 

(page 83), or use the CP.DP format (page 26).

SC

Defines the starting column of the alphanumeric

 

data. Enter a value ranging from column 1 through

 

one less than the width of the form. Character

column or dot column is specified based on the Scale command (page 83), or use the CP.DP format (page 26).
