Variable and constant data

This section explains how to add color to variable and constant data using either PPFA or ElixirForm for AFP (version 3.11c).

Using PPFA

To add color to any constant or variable text in your application, modify the PageDef for the application as follows:

To colorize a field of print data in a PageDef, add the COLOR parameter to the FIELD statement. For example:

FIELD START 1 LENGTH 32 POSITION 255 175 COLOR RED

To colorize a line or series of lines of text in a PageDef, add the COLOR parameter to the PRINTLINE statement. For example:

PRINTLINE REPEAT 3 CHANNEL 1 POSITION 0 0 COLOR

RED

You can also add color to text in a DCF/Script document by adding the .DF (define font) keyword to the document. For example:

.DF GT10 TYPE(’SONORAN’ 10) COLOR RED

Note: If you add the COLOR command to the .DF keyword, you must also update your Logical Device Table and Physical Device Table to support color.

Using Elixir Desktop for AFP

To add color to an existing line of black text, follow this procedure:

Step 1. With the left mouse button, select the “up arrow” key in the tool box.

Step 2. Move the mouse to the first character you wish to colorize and click the right mouse button.

Step 3. Click on the ink box with the left mouse button. The system displays the eight color selections at the bottom of the screen.

Step 4. Select the color you wish to use with the left mouse button.

The line of text changes from black to the selected color.

To add color text on a new form, select the “Add Text” icon then select the color you wish to use. When you begin typing, the text will appear in the selected color.
