TEXT commands

Font requirement At least one font must be specified before any text can be specified. The FONT setup command is used, and only one such command can be given for any one form. After the fonts are specified, they are referenced in the form description, not by their identification name but by an index number, beginning with 1 for the first font specified, 2 for the second, and so forth.

The number of fonts that may be specified depends on their size, the number of fonts used in the variable data, and the size of font memory. Once a font number is specified in a TEXT command, it remains in effect until a new font index is specified. If no font number is specified in any TEXT command, the system uses FONT 1 as the default substitute.

Two methods are available for specifying the text that is to be put on forms. One places the text at a specified location anywhere on the form. The other places text inside a box.

Using space options in text placement FDL provides you with control over vertical line spacings and horizontal character placement. The SPACED parameter in the TEXT command is used to control the amount of vertical space between two lines of text. Character spacing cannot be overridden. However, each proportionally spaced font contains six space characters of various widths to facilitate adjusting line length for text applications.

Example:

TEXT SPACED 150 DOTS FONT 2;

TEXT AT

The following option allows you to print text in specific locations.

dAmount of vertical space occupied by a line of text. All specifications except lpi are actual line height measurements. An lpi value specifies line height in terms of lines per inch. The number must be positive and may have two decimal places for all units except “DOTS.” The default unit is “DOTS.”
