User’s Manual for InterForm400® 107
Example of Advanced use of Sub-overlays (Random text lines)
A very strong feature of InterForm400
®
, is the ability to handle spool entries with randomly
positioned text lines so each line gets an individual formatting. The general description on
using sub-overlays are described on page 67, ?=If..then.
The following is an example of a print job consisting of a random number of Item groups,
each containing a random number of Item lines. The Item groups will furthermore appear
in random line positions, and there will be a footer appearing in a random line position.

(Line numbers are not part of the spool entry)
We want to format this print job as follows:
1. The text ITEM should be placed as a header of each item group with a 16 point
font.
2. The Item group names (Fish, Pets etc), should be moved down and placed as
sub-headers below the header (ITEM), and should be printed with a 12 point font.
3. The items should be printed just below the item group name, with a 10 point font.
4. The footer should be placed in a fixed position with Courier 10.
