LINE command examples

Here are some examples of use of the LINE command.

Example 1 The LINE command below defines the characteristics of the following record structure shown in the following figure.

LINE	DATA=(1,132), PCC=(0,NOTRAN),
	PCCTYPE=IBM1403, FONTINDEX=133;

parameter

The print data offset (pdo) option of the DATA parameter (the number of bytes between the start of the user portion of the record and the first character of the record to be printed) is 1 byte.

In the sample shown in the above figure, the print length parameter (the number of characters in the longest print line in the record) is defined as 132 bytes. The carriage control is defined as IBM1403, and the position of the carriage control character is the first byte within the user portion of the record. The position of the font index (an index value into a font list that indicates which font is to be selected) is byte 133 (relative to 0).

Example 2 In the following command, PCC = 0 (can be omitted because it is the default). The record PREAMBLE=0.

LINE	PCCTYPE=NONE, DATA=(2,60),
	VFU=V1, FONTINDEX=1;

The following figure illustrates the command shown in example 2.
