| title | specify the output print header |
| compid | set the compound identification code |
| master | set the master file switch and specify filenames |
| remark | insert comments into the printed output |
| copybdf | copy one binary data file to another |
| reset | reset printer specifications |
| setid | specify default line identifiers for subsequent linedata |
| field | fix format of subsequent input lines |
| order | reorder fields of input line data |
| finish | end of the input line file |
| A complete description of these lines is given in the Primer Section:Reference Manual. |
| master[a] | Option | Code | |||
| master file support[b] | no | switch master file support off | |||
| yes | switch master file support on (default master file is aaa) | ||||
| read different master | read | v | copy master file v to binary aa1 | ||
| write different master | write | w | copy final binary file to w | ||
| Notes: a. A master line, if entered, mustprecede the first program initiation line. b. Default master file support state is set on installation with the masterfile: macro. | |||||
| copybdf[a] | 1 | ext1 filename extension of source bdf | |
| 2 | ext2 filename extension of destination bdf | ||
| Notes: a. The copybdf line cannot be used prior to the compid line and must be used either before the first program initiation line or after an end line. | |||
| reset | Option | Code | |||
| list current parameters | (null) | ||||
| reset parameters to installed default values | all | ||||
| max characters per line of printer | cmax | n | |||
| max lines per page of printer | lmax | n | |||
| characters per inch across the page | cpin | n | |||
| lines per inch down the page | lpin | n | |||
| priority status of print lines (normally 3; max 5) | psta | n | |||
| use private graphics display color map [a] | priv | ||||
| use common (shared) color map [a] | comm | ||||
| Notes: a. These commands are not currently supported for the Win32 version. | |||||
| setid[a] | 1 | string of up to 6 characters [b] | |
| Notes: a. Once the setid has been entered, all succeeding lines, except the system commands, are treated as having the identification code specified on the setid line, until another setid is read. When setid is in force, field 1 of a line starts in column 1 of the input line (this is field 0 when setid is not in force). b. A blank string resets to normal input. | |||
| field [a] | 1 | rightmost character [b] of field 1 for subsequent input lines | |
| 2 | rightmost character of field 2 for subsequent input lines | ||
| 3- | etc | ||
| Notes: a. If an identification code is entered on an input line which has been formatted by a preceding field line, an order line will also need to be specified so that this field can be ignored or properly treated. All fields expected as input must be specified on the field line. A blank field line resets free format input. b. The leftmost character of each field is assumed to be one more than the rightmost column number of the previous field. The leftmost character of field 1 is column 1. | |||
