Form Examples and Exercises

Adding Fixed Alphanumeric Text

10. Use the Create Form mode Alpha command to add some fixed

alphanumeric text to the form. Specify some compressed print (Cn), the

starting row (SR) and starting column (SC) for each alphanumeric

string, any vertically (VE) or horizontally (HE) expanded strings, and

the alphanumeric string itself which must be within the printable

character (quotation marks or asterisks, for example). Substitute your

own name, address, etc. in the appropriate areas. If you do not want to

include some of the data on your form, do not enter the line.

NOTE: The sample data entered above uses CP.DP format (such as 35.9,

40.3, etc.) in the starting row (SR) parameters. This precisely

positions the data to avoid overlapping the alphanumeric data with

the box and horizontal line data previously entered. For complete

information on the CP.DP format, refer to the “Commands” chapter.
