n Index number of the font to be used. If omitted, the system uses the
last font index specified in a TEXT command. If the font was omitted
in all previous TEXT commands, the system uses the first font
specified in the FONT command.
y Coordinate on the y axis where the text origin is to be located.
x Coordinate on the x axis where the text origin is to be located.
text Text characters that are to be printed at the specified location.
Multiple text strings can be specified by enclosing each text string in
single quotation marks. Separate each text string with one or more
spaces. (A string is a series of characters.) Each string is printed as
one physical line of text. Text strings enclosed by single quotes (such
as ’abcde’) can be broken and continued onto the next input record;
the FDL compiler skips all embedded spaces until it finds the first
character of the next record.
Example:
TEXT AT 5, 1 ’FIRST’ ’NATIONAL’ ’TRUST’;
TEXT command defaults If orientation and alignment are not specified, the defaults are
HORIZONTAL and CENTER.
Text line origins The origin of a single line of text is the upper left corner of the first
character cell when the line appears upright to the viewer. The origin
of multiple lines of text is the upper edge of the topmost character cell
and leftmost edge of the leftmost character cell when viewed in an
upright position.
Some keywords in the command are explained below.
