The same printable character must be used at both the beginning and end of the text to be printed and cannot be used within the text.

Spaces

Spaces are used in the general command formats to visually separate individual command parameters. Supply the appropriate information for the command parameter, but do not enter the spaces in the command sequence; they are shown simply as a visual aid to illustrate where one command parameter ends and another begins.

Command Parameters

Most commands include a number of parameters. Some are optional, and some are required. Each parameter must be separated by a semicolon (;) unless noted otherwise. Throughout this manual, actual commands required for input are shown exactly as they must be entered and all parameters associated with that command are shown in italics. Optional parameters are enclosed in brackets [ ], but do not enter the brackets.

Parentheses indicate variable data. You have a choice of what to enter, but you must enter something. Do not enter the parentheses themselves.

Form Name

You must use alphanumeric characters to identify the document (form or logo) you are creating (a maximum of 12 alphanumeric characters). The Form Name is also used to identify the form during the Execute Form mode. The valid Form Name characters are listed below and also apply to Logo Name. The SFCC can also be used in the Form Name. No spaces are allowed between any of the Form Name characters.
