FORMS DESCRIPTION LANGUAGE
| The forms compiler is capable of compiling a number of paper |
| sizes. Although a form file may be compiled without an error, it |
| may not be printable on a particular system if the paper size |
| exceeds the maximum feeder capacity of that system. Examples |
| of these are A3, B4, and 11 by 17 inch paper sizes. If you |
| attempt to print a form with an incompatible paper size, the |
| following message is displayed on the system controller: |
| Paper size in cluster AUTO is too small |
| When coding .FSL applications, the PAPER command must |
| precede the LANDSCAPE/PORTRAIT statement. |
| If a predefined format is specified in the GRID command, paper |
| size is determined automatically, and the PAPER command is |
| unnecessary. The PAPER command is required, however, any |
| time the paper size is different from the sysgen default. |
| Note: The correct size paper must be loaded in the feeder. A |
| paper size mismatch at run time causes an error message to be |
| displayed. The form does not print, and the job may be aborted. |
LANDSCAPE/PORTRAIT |
|
|
|
| Specifies the origin of the form and the virtual page size. |
Syntax | orientation PAGE SIZE IS n WIDE BY m HIGH; |
Parameter options | orientation |
| LANDSCAPE |
| The form is oriented horizontally (like most paintings or |
| photographs of landscape scenes). |
| PORTRAIT |
| The form is oriented vertically (like most portraits of |
| people). |
| n |
| Specifies the virtual page width in DOTS, XDOTS, INCHES |
| (IN), or centimeters (CM). |
| m |
| Specifies the virtual page height in DOTS, XDOTS, INCHES |
| (IN), or centimeters (CM). |
Default | LANDSCAPE is the default orientation, and the default units is |
| INCHES. |
Example | PORTRAIT; |
Considerations | When coding .FSL applications, the PAPER command must |
| precede the LANDSCAPE/PORTRAIT command. |
| If a PAGE SIZE parameter is specified, a virtual page of that size is |
| centered relative to the paper. The virtual page origin is at the |
| upper left corner of the centered virtual page. |
| If no PAGE SIZE parameter is specified, the virtual page size |
| defaults to the paper size specified in the PAPER command; |
| otherwise it defaults to the |
| Only one LANDSCAPE or PORTRAIT command is allowed in a |
| form description. If specified, the command must precede the |
| GRID, BOX, LINE, LOGO, and TEXT commands, described later in |
| this chapter. |
| Page width and height values must be positive numbers and may |
| contain two decimal places for all units except DOTS. |
