FORMS LAYOUT CONSIDERATIONS

If variable data does not line up properly with a form, and it appears that both are using the same line spacing, find out what the dot value is. It is most likely in such cases that the difficulty is a variation in defining the coordinate system resulting from rounding, not a software problem.

Suggested coding techniques

Converting preprinted forms

To convert preprinted forms:

Step 1. Print data, using an appropriate format, on the laser printing system.

Step 2. Draw horizontal and vertical lines on system output.

Step 3. Use the forms design ruler to measure line and character spacings.

Refer to appendix F.

Step 4. Code the form.

Designing new forms

To design new forms:

Step 1. Determine the appropriate format.

Step 2. Use the forms design ruler to measure line and character spacings.

Refer to the "Forms design ruler" appendix.

Step 3. Draw horizontal and vertical lines on a layout sheet.

Step 4. Define the y,x coordinate

Step 5. Code the form.

Recommended coding sequence

The FDL compiler imposes a number of constraints on the sequence in which commands are coded. The form name must come first. Only one form orientation is permitted, and fonts and boxes must be implicitly or explicitly defined before they are referenced by TEXT commands. After that point, sequence is not significant to the compiler. However, it is worthwhile to develop a sequence while debugging or making changes to a form. It is best to use a method of sequencing commands similar to the following:

1.Horizontal and vertical lines

2.Boxes (if needed)

3.Text

4.Logo placement

5.Shading
