Table 5-1.Determining interword gap

The interword	applied to the base	equals an
multiplier:	gap, specified by:	interword gap of:
INTERWORD .5	no SPACING operand	.5 * the width of ASCII
		code point X`20'
INTERWORD .5	COMPILE SPACING1	.5 * the EN space
INTERWORD 1.0	no SPACING operand	1.0 * the width of ASCII
		code point X`20'
INTERWORD 1.0	COMPILE SPACING1	1.0 * the EN space
(no INTERWORD	no SPACING operand	(1.0) * the width of ASCII
command specified,		code point X`20'
defaults to 1.0)
(no INTERWORD	COMPILE SPACING1	(1.0) the EN space
command specified,
defaults to 1.0)

1Valid for fully justifed text only

HFDL uses the interword gap you specify as the minimum value. For fully justified text, HFDL adjusts the interword gap when needed.

For the INTERWORD command description and syntax, refer to the ªUsing HFDL commandsº chapter of this manual.

The example in Figure 5-2 shows MYFORM being compiled with SPACING specified. The EN space will be used along with the value specified by the INTERWORD FSL command to determine the interword gap for this form.

GROup=name specifies a user±assigned optional ªnameº to the form. This allows you to group forms in the database for subsequent listing, downloading, and so on. For example, list all forms with GROUP=MEDINS. The maximum size of the field is 8 bytes.

KEYboard=name specifies the keyboard map you want to use in the compilation of the form. name is a maximum 8-character string. The compiler retrieves the requested keyboard map and associated font map. Then the compiler maps the characters entered on the form to the corresponding graphic representations in the Xerox printer fonts. If no keyboard name is entered, no keyboard mapping occurs. The font characters are translated directly from EBCDIC to ASCII and then located in the font based on their ASCII value.
