Special/Print/Line Keywords 

Keyword

Description

Affected By

<Line Width: [nn]>

The <Line Width: [nn]> keyword  tell the expansion engine to expand or center the values returned for the “Line” and “Lines” keywords to the width as defined by the value of [nn].

When <Expanded On> is in effect, the line width would be half of the value of [nn].  If <Line Amount On> is in effect the line width would be the value of [nn] less 5 characters.

If both <Expanded On> and <Line Amount On> keywords are in effect, the line width to be used would be half the value of [nn] less 5.

By default, the expansion engine uses the line width to 40 characters.

Example:  <Line Width: 30><# to set the line width to 30>

                  <Line Width: 40><# to set the line width back to 40

Actual line width would be affected by the following:

<Expand On/Off>

<Amount Line On/Off>

 

<Center Line On>

<Center Line Off>

The <Center Line On> keyword denotes the start block when centering of the values for “Line” and “Lines” keyword results.  The width to be used will be based on the value set by <Line Width: [nn]> keyword. 

The <Center Line Off> keyword marks the end of the block.

<Line Width: [nn]>

<Amount Line On/Off>

<Expand On/Off>

<Amount Line On>

<Amount Line Off>

The <Amount Line On> keyword denotes the start block when lining up the result of the “Line” and “Lines” keywords to the amount column, that is, based on the value set by <Line Width: [nn]> less 5. 

The <Amount Line Off> marks the end of the block.

<Line Width: [nn]>

<Center Line On/Off>

<Expand On/Off>

<Expand On>

<Expand Off>

The <Expand On> keyword expands to the printer code set to make the printer print the characters in double-width.  Because of such, the total number of characters that can be printed on a line would be half of what it is set to. 

The <Expand Off>keyword expands to the printer code to cancel the expanded print mode of the printer.

Note: Some printers don’t support combining expanded and non-expanded print on a single line.
