previously referenced using the hold (automatic reimaging)
parameter.

ALTER parameter option(s) and definition(s)

Option(s)

Definition(s)

name

Identifies a previously called out graphic (refer to
DJDE IMAGE parameter) which is currently subject
to the hold parameter of its calling command. ALTER
maintains the hold parameter in effect but also
specifies a new set of imaging parameters for the
current and subsequent pages.

(

vpos, hpos)

This option has the following components:

vpos
Specifies the vertical position of the top edge of
the graphic, relative to 0,0 on the current
physical page in centimeters (cm), inches (in),
(specified as a decimal number with up to three
digits to the right of the decimal point), dots,
xdots, or user-defined units (un). If un is
specified, the user-defined positioning unit must
previously be defined by the UNITS parameter
of the OUTPUT command of the current JDE or
JDL (refer to the chapter "Print format
commands"). If no units are specified, inches
are assumed.

hpos
Specifies the horizontal position of the left edge
of the graphic relative to 0,0 on the current
physical page. The form of the specification (un,
cm, in, dots, or xdots) is the same as for

vpos.

(

n/d)

Specifies the reference scale factor. Each
parameter,

n and d, must be an integer in the range

of 1 to 8, thereby allowing a reference scale factor in
the range of 1/8 to 8. The reference scale factor is
multiplied.
