HOST FORMS DESCRIPTION LANGUAGErepresents the origin in the horizontal direction (x–axiscoordinate).units indicates the unit of measure for specifying the line origin.Theunits are INCHES, CENTIMETERS, DOTS, and XDOTS. Youcan use two decimal places when you specify inches andcentimeters. You must express DOTS and XDOTS in integers.DRAW is an optional reserved word.The number of lines you want drawn on your form isn.HORIZONTAL or VERTICAL specifies the direction of your lines.LINES specifies that this reserved word is required.INunits is a shorthand method of specifying units for the entirecommand. INunits overrides all other units used. For example,if you want to draw a line using inches but specify grid FMT1, INunits uses inches as the grid for all units in the specific LINEstatement.FROM, TO specifies the coordinate at the coordinate start (C s)point and the coordinate end (Ce) point.SOLID, BROKEN, or DOTTED specifies the type of line you wantto draw.HAIRLINE, 0 point (invisible), 1 point, or 2 points specifies thethickness of the line you want to draw.INKn specifies the ink color index from the ink list for a Xeroxhighlight or full color LPS printer.REPEAT specifies that you want a selected line repeatedaccording to the following commands.HORIZONTALLY or VERTICALLY specifies the orientation of thelines you want repeated.EVERY Ci indicates that you want a line repeated at theincrement (Ci) you have specified.AT Ca indicates that you want the line repeated at the absolutecoordinate (Ca) you have specified.Defaults HORIZONTAL, if you do not specify a line orientation.SOLID, if you do not specify a line type.1, if you do not specify a line weight.VERTICALLY, if you do not specify the REPEAT orientation.Examples Long form:AT 3 INCHES DRAW 5 HORIZONTAL LINES IN INCHES FROM 4INCHES TO 10 INCHES USING SOLID 1 USING INK 3 ANDREPEAT HORIZONTALLY EVERY 0.50 INCHES;Short form:AT 3 5 LINES 4 TO 10 REPEAT EVERY 0.50;BOX commandUse the BOX command to describe the size and shape of a boxon your form. Similar to lines, you can repeat boxes at fixedintervals or at specified locations. The origin of the box is itsupper left corner at the midpoint of the thickness of the outline.If you are using the 4850 HighLight Color or 4700 LPS printer,3–14 HOST FORMS DESCRIPTION LANGUAGE 3.2 FOR IBM MVS CREATING FORMS
