FORMS DESCRIPTION LANGUAGE
3-34 XEROX DOCUPRINT 96/DOCUPRINT 96MX LPS FORMS CREATION GUIDE
This example prints the following text within the designated box:
text Text characters that are to be printed at the specified location.
Multiple text strings (a string is a series of characters) can be
specified by enclosing each text string in single quotation marks.
Separate each text string with one or more spaces. 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.
TEXT IN BOX command defaults
The defaults for the optional keywords in the TEXT IN BOX
command are HORIZONTAL, DOTS, CENTER, and HORIZONTAL.
A box with matching coordinate values must be defined before TEXT
IN BOX command can reference it. Thus the statement allows nine
options for the position in a box where the text is to be placed, as
shown in the following list and in figure 3-16.
1. TOP LEFT or LEFT TOP
2. TOP CENTER or CENTER TOP
3. TOP RIGHT or RIGHT TOP
4. LEFT CENTER or CENTER LEFT
5. CENTER CENTER (default) or CENTER
6. RIGHT CENTER or CENTER RIGHT
7. BOTTOM LEFT or LEFT BOTTOM
8. BOTTOM CENTER or CENTER BOTTOM
9. BOTTOM RIGHT or RIGHT BOTTOM.
Figure 3-16. Possible text positions in box
Note that except for CENTER, two keywords are required. If no
location is specified, the default is to place text in the center of the
box. If the font selected causes the text to overflow the box or
overflow the page, the system prints the form as specified and
generates a message indicating the maximum size font, in points,
that will fit in the allotted space.
