AMCR AMCR - call Automatic MaCRo Format AMCR mode, [repeat-count] macro-name, parameter, ...; Parameters mode: E = Enable automatic macro; Save and retain current printing parameters T = Enable automatic macro; Do not save current printing parameters D = Disable automatic macro repeat-count: number of times the macro is executed macro-name: name defined by the MCRO command parameter: values given to the dummy parameters in the macro definition Function The AMCR command enables the automatic macro (overlay). It automatically executes the macro defined by a MCRO command each time a page is printed. For example, it would be used to print multiple copies of the same form, filled in with different text. The AMCR command closely resembles the CALL command; therefore, the user should refer to the section on the CALL command for further information. When the automatic macro is enabled using mode E, the following printing system settings are saved and retained upon completion of the macro: font information, margins, cursor position, line spacing, character spacing, page orientation, unit of measurement, underline parameters, and fill pattern. When the automatic macro is enabled with mode T, the printing system settings are modified according to the parameter settings contained in the macro. Color specifications may be used within macros. When an auto-macro (AMCR) is executed, the active palette and color index number are saved and restored after the macro has executed. The automatic macro remains enabled until the AMCR command with the mode set to D is encountered or the printing system is switched off. Note that mode D requires no other parameters such as repeat-count. The following commands are invalid within a macro: ASTK, PSRC, CCPY, DUPX, DXPG, JOBD, JOBL, JOBO, JOBP, JOBS, JOBT, JOG, LDFC, LDFN, MID, MSTK, RDMP, SEM, SPSZ, SSTK, STAK, STAT, STPL, VMAL, VMPW 25

...
;
Parameters
mode:
E = Enable automatic macro; Save and retain current printing parameters
T = Enable automatic macro; Do not save current printing parameters
D = Disable automatic macro
repeat-count:
number of times the macro is executed
macro-name:
name defined by the MCRO command
parameter:
values given to the dummy parameters in the macro definition
Function
The AMCR command enables the automatic macro (overlay). It automatically executes
the macro defined by a MCRO command each time a page is printed. For example, it
would be used to print multiple copies of the same form, filled in with different text.
The AMCR command closely resembles the CALL command; therefore, the user should
refer to the section on the CALL command for further information.
When the automatic macro is enabled using mode E, the following printing system
settings are saved and retained upon completion of the macro: font information, margins,
cursor position, line spacing, character spacing, page orientation, unit of measurement,
underline parameters, and fill pattern.
When the automatic macro is enabled with mode T, the printing system settings are
modified according to the parameter settings contained in the macro.
Color specifications may be used within macros. When an auto-macro (AMCR) is
executed, the active palette and color index number are saved and restored after the
macro has executed.
The automatic macro remains enabled until the AMCR command with the mode set to D
is encountered or the printing system is switched off. Note that mode D requires no other
parameters such as repeat-count.
