FORMS DESCRIPTION LANGUAGE

The GRID command may specify the name of a format, which automatically provides page orientation, form origin, and grid unit dimensions. (Refer to table 2-1.) All predefined formats specify the grid units in lines and characters per inch. The predefined format’s BEGIN values are used to place the form origin, unless overridden by an ORIGIN parameter.

If the GRID command specifies explicit unit parameters and no ORIGIN is specified, form origin coincides with virtual page origin. If no grid units or predefined format are specified, FMT1 (landscape) or FMT6 (portrait) values are used by default.

Grid unit dimensions may be overridden by the BOX, LINE, LOGO, and TEXT commands. Multiple GRID commands may be used within a set of FDL commands. A GRID command remains in effect until another is encountered.

The following examples illustrate how virtual page and form origin are determined. (Also refer to the “Grids” section in the “Basic concepts” chapter.)

Example 1 LANDSCAPE;

GRID [UNIT] [IS] FMT3;

Figure 3-1 shows a form with the grid specified, but no page size or origin.

Figure 3-1.Form with grid specified, but no page size or origin

In example 1, no page size is specified, so the virtual page defaults to paper size. FMT3 in the GRID command provides the grid size and form origin (which is offset from the virtual page origin).
