dots. Enter a value of 1 or greater. Horizontal line

 

thickness expands downward from the given row.

RDefines the row to draw the horizontal line. 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 horizontal line.

 

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).

EC

Defines the ending column of the horizontal line.

 

Enter a value ranging from column 2 through the

 

last column of the form. The ending column must

 

be greater than the starting column. Character

Stop indicates the end of the HORZ command;

 

enter STOP. If not entered, the IGP expects

 

another set of Horizontal Line command

Example The following example specifies 2 horizontal lines. The first line uses the character row in the R parameter, and the second line uses CP.DP format. To illustrate positioning, the starting row and column are indicated on the example but do not necessarily reflect actual location on the page.
