Specifying print format parameters Options Table 4-84. PDE BEGIN parameter options and definitions Option Definition vpos vertical position Specifies the vertical position of the first character of the first print line of the logical page relative to the top edge of the physical sheet. It must be a decimal number with up to four digits to the right of the decimal point; for example, 0.5634 or 2.35. The default vertical position is .18. hpos horizontal position Specifies the horizontal position of the first character of the first print line of the logical page, relative to the left edge of the physical sheet. All specifications are rounded to the nearest dot (1/300 of an inch) for positioning of the logical page. The default horizontal position is .66. unit Specifies the unit of measure for the distance from the edge of the physical sheet to the first character of the first print line. The choices are: • IN (inches) • CM (centimeters) The default unit of measure is IN. Default (.18 IN, .66 IN) PDE BEGIN parameter: points to note • When specifying the location of the beginning of a print line on a logical page, view the page in the orientation (landscape or portrait) in which it will be printed. • Structure your variable data in the same order that the logical pages are defined, using either spacing or skipping printer carriage controls to move from one logical page to the next. Generally, a Skip to Channel 1 parameter is the easiest way to position to the next logical page. • Each online banner page is positioned as the first logical page on a new physical sheet (if the BANNER TYPE parameter specifies BANNER). • ROFFSET causes the logical page containing the matching criteria to be the first logical page of a new physical sheet. • Page numbering occurs on each logical page, rather than each physical page. • Commands that specify line numbers, such as CRITERIA, VFU, CME, and NUMBER, refer to the line on the current logical page (ranging from TOF to BOF). 4-96 Using LCDS Print Description Language
