Commands 4–50
To Execute Forms Rapidly
In order to save reloading time, the PGL remembers the last form executed.
However, a form must be loaded if it was not the last form executed, if it was
used with a CREATE command since the last EXECUTE, or if any logo has
been created.
Use the SETUP command to define forms at power up and execute them
from internal memory rather than from external memory.
When the form to be executed is not found in internal memory, the default
external memory module is automatically searched. If the form is found, it is
loaded into internal memory and execution resumes; otherwise, the “FORM
NOT FOUND” error is printed.
NOTE: If an older application uses the disk parameter for the execute
command, it is ignored and the above steps are taken.
Print Formats in the Execute Form Mode
The Execute Form mode has two print formats. The standard execute
command format, shown below, is used for executing nonincremental data
and incremental fixed data. An incremental Execute command format,
containing two additional parameters, is used for executing incremental
dynamic data and is discussed on page 4–56.
During the Execute Form mode, the IGP/PGL responds to regular print
format commands such as 8 lpi, and elongated characters. Some commands
can be used in other modes in addition to the Execute Form mode. For
example, Compressed Print, Expanded Print, Execute, Ignore, Select Format,
and Vertical Line Spacing, which are also Normal mode commands, can be
used in the Execute or Create Form modes. The IGP/PGL alternate character
set can also be used in the Execute Form mode.
