Specifying print format parameters

LINE FONTINDEX

Option

Definition

 

 

 

 

offset

Specifies the byte offset in the data record where the character that is to be

 

used as a font index number is located.

 

Refer to “LINE OVERPRINT” later in this chapter for a discussion of

 

FONTINDEX usage with overprint lines and maximum number of fonts.

 

 

initval

initial value.

 

Index number associated with the first font in the font list (i.e., the number the

 

font list starts with). This value can be one of the following:

 

• ONE specifies that an index value of 1 is associated with the first font in the

 

font list.

 

• ZERO specifies that an index value of 0 is associated with the first font in

 

the font list, an index value of 1 is associated with the second font in the

 

font list, and so forth.

 

The default for the initial font index value is ONE.

 

 

bitopt

bit option

 

A number specifying the number of low order bits within the font index byte,

 

which, in turn, specifies an index value into the font list of the current PDE. The

 

bitopt value may be 1 through 7.

 

The default bitopt value is 4.

 

 

NONE

Specifies that there is no font index.

 

 

Default NONE
