User’s Manual for InterForm400
®
Appendix H - Commands in Spooled Files
The system contains a command interpreter. This means you have a possibility of
inserting command lines as a part of the print out.
When InterForm400
®
identifies a command line, the system will execute the command
instead of just printing it.
A command line is a line, where the first two positions contain a command specification.
The command recognition characters <&&’ are normally used. A special command can
change these characters into something else.
The requirement for the commands in the spool file to take effect is that the spool file is
merged with an InterForm400 overlay e.g. in Auto Forms Control. The overlay used for
the merge, do not need to contain any format definitions, i.e. the line spacing, font
selection, rotation etc. can be set to *INPUT.
INPEL is an abbreviation of Inches and Pels, and must be written with preceding zeros
e.g. 03120 indicates 3½ inch.
G NOTE G
The only command line supported for PDF output is &&IMG. Refer to page 392.

Draws a frame of which the upper
and lower borders are defined
relatively to the top edge of the
paper, and the left and right
borders are defined relatively to left
edge of the paper.
IN indicates measurement in
inches.
PEL indicates measurement in
Pels.
Leading zeros must be filled in.
If a distance is stated without a
leading sign the distance is
calculated relative to the paper
edge. If a sign (+/-) is stated, the
distance will be calculated
according to the base line of the
current line.
If position 39-54 is filled in, the
frame will be repeated as many
times as stated in position 52-54.
