108 User’s Manual for InterForm400
®
Creating the Main overlay:
This overlay will be used to call the different sub-overlays, which will perform the actual
formatting of the spool entry:
We enter 1. Design overlay, and we create a new overlay named MAIN. We leave the
global overlay settings untouched and enter the design window. Here we define the
If..then line that will search for the item groups:
Design InterForm 400 overlay APF300D
Overlay name: MAIN Overlay text:
Seqnbr. Type Overlay definition
Seqnbr. Type
1,0 ? If . . . . . Input line __1 - _70
Position _11 - _14
Is > = < N = ITEM__________________________
Then . . . . Overlay SUB1______ Nos. of lines to remap *VAR
Upper edge _0,040 A/+/- -
Left edge ______ A/+/-
Blank after _ B = blank original text
F3=Exit F11=Delete F12=Cancel
F13=Set view/print parameters F14=PCL-view F18=DSPSPLF F19=DSPPFM
We are not sure in which line the item group will appear, so we will just check all lines
from 1 to 70.
The horizontal position of the text ITEM will always be fixed in position 11-14.
We enter the name of the sub overlay SUB1, which we will create later for formatting of
the footer.
We define *VAR for Number of lines to remap, as we do not know how many item lines
each item group will consist of.
We define a negative movement of 1/6" (0,040). We press Enter and we get the following
screen:
Vertical cursor repositioning
before execute of sub overlay
Position related to actual position
Number of pels . . _40 ( -99 - 99 )
Or reposition related to previous
non blank input line
Number of pels . . ___ ( 0 - 999 )
F3=Exit F12=Cancel
In this screen we offset the cursor 1/6" (40 pels) downwards to compensate for the
negative movement we just made. This may seem strange, but the purpose is to generate
an extra line between each item group. This is needed because we want to split the ITEM
header, which was originally a single line, into two lines.
We now press Enter to save the If..then line and we define a new If..then line that will
