Using Dynamic Job Descriptor Entries (DJDEs) Options Table 5-24. FONTINDEX DJDE options and definitions Option Definition offset initval bitopt NONE Indicates the byte offset in the data record where the font index number is located. Refer to the "LINE OVERPRINT" parameter section in the "Specifying print format parameters" chapter for a discussion of FONTINDEX usage with overprint lines and maximum number of fonts. initial value. Index number associated with the first font in the font list (that is, the number the font list starts with). This value can be one of the following: • ONE specifies that an index value of 1 is associated with the first font in the font list. • ZERO specifies that an index value of 0 is associated with the first font in the font list, an index value of 1 is associated with the second font in the font list, and so forth. The default for the initial font index value is ONE. bit option A numeral specifying the number of low order bits within the font index byte, which, in turn, specifies an index value into the font list of the current PDE. The bitopt value may be 1 through 7. The default bitopt value is 4. Specifies that there is no font index. FONTINDEX DJDE: points to note • The FONTINDEX DJDE takes effect at the next logical page boundary. • The FONTINDEX DJDE options are the same as for the LINE FONTINDEX command). • Because there is ambiguity between the FONTINDEX and FONTS keywords, if either is abbreviated to the first three letters, the keyword defaults to FONTINDEX. • When multiple fonts of various sizes are used on a single page, the line spacing of any particular line is determined by the largest font in use in the previous line. The current line can also be adjusted downward by the difference in height between the first and the largest font in the current line. The line spacing of the first line in a report is determined by the first font in the PDE, provided the FONTINDEX JDL command or DJDE has not been specified. 5-34 Using LCDS Print Description Language
