Adding Fixed Alphanumeric Text
10. Use the Create Form mode Alpha command to add some fixed
alphanumeric text to the form. Specify some compressed print (Cn), the
starting row (SR) and starting column (SC) for each alphanumeric
string, any vertically (VE) or horizontally (HE) expanded strings, and
the alphanumeric string itself which must be within the printable
character (quotation marks or asterisks, for example). Substitute your
own name, address, etc. in the appropriate areas. If you do not want to
include some of the data on your form, do not enter the line.

NOTE: The sample data entered above uses CP.DP format (such as 35.9,
40.3, etc.) in the starting row (SR) parameters. This precisely
positions the data to avoid overlapping the alphanumeric data with
the box and horizontal line data previously entered. For complete
information on the CP.DP format, refer to the “Commands” chapter.
