Select Format (SF) Command (Normal, Create, and Execute)

Practice

Earlier in this chapter we presented some sample commands for creating various graphical elements for a form.

Earlier we created a logo named BOMB and a form called JobAppl. Now let’s modify our earlier work and put them together with some Alphanumerical commands, line commands, and a BOX command to create a Job Application for a company called “Demolitions Are US.”

The logo we designed is fine the way it is, but to create a form that will fit on a page of this manual we will have to modify the BOX and CREATE Form command in the examples we used earlier.

The overall form dimensions will be 5.6 inches wide by 8.5 inches long. It will be printed at 10 CPI and 6 LPI. These figures give us a maximum line length of 70 columns and form length of 51 lines (form length in dot rows would be 612).

We have already created and stored the logo for the form. Now we will create the form itself. First enter the CREATE Form Mode.

~CREATE;JobAppl;612

After we enter the CREATE Mode, create a border for our form by sending a BOX Command specifying a box of 3 points thickness that prints three columns from the left and right edge and three lines from the top and bottom edge.

BOX 3;3;3;48;52

STOP

We started our form creation and added a border, now we will compose the items that will go inside the box.

Remember that the BOMB logo we created earlier has a superimposed “D” on it. The bomb is going to be part of the company title on the form. To finish the form header, create an Alphanumeric string with the remaining characters of the title to align properly with the bomb making a form header. Also, we will create a form title, the instructions for the form, and end with the first question.
