Duplication Commands (Create)

There are two commands that can be used to duplicate elements on a form: HDUP (Horizontal Duplication) and VDUP (Vertical Duplication). Each specifies the number of times the element will be printed and the spacing between each duplication. These commands function with any element on a form except Overlay Data.

Horizontal Duplication Command

This command allows you to duplicate specific elements horizontally on a form, such as lines, logos, barcodes, etc. The basic command is:
