<div><p>Use this record-level keyword to print a horizontal or vertical
|
||
|
|
line.</p>
|
||
|
|
<div class="section"><p>The format of the keyword is:</p>
|
||
|
|
<pre>LINE(position-down | &position-down-field
|
||
|
|
position-across | &position-across-field
|
||
|

line-width | &line-width-field
|
||
|

[line-pad]
|

[color value])</pre>
|
||
|
|
<p>The position-down parameter is required and defines
|
||
|
|
the vertical starting point of the line relative to the margins specified
|
||
|
|
on the FRONTMGN or BACKMGN parameter on the CRTPRTF command. Valid values
|
||
|
|
are 0 to 57.790 cm (0 to 22.750 in.).</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>The position-across parameter
|
||
|
|
is required and defines the horizontal starting point of the line relative
|
||
|
|
to the margins specified on the FRONTMGN or BACKMGN parameter on the CRTPRTF
|
||
|
|
command. Valid values are 0 to 57.790 cm (0 to 22.750 in.).</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>You
|
||
|
|
can specify the position-down and position-across parameters as constants,
|
||
|
|
program-to-system fields, or a combination of both, as shown in the following
|
||
|
|
examples:</p>
|
||
|
|
<ul><li>LINE(0.5 7.1 … )</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>LINE(&field1 1.3 … )</li>

<li>LINE(2.75 &field2 … )</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>LINE(&field3 &field4 … )</li>
|
||
|
|
</ul>
|
||
|
|
<p>Field1, field2, field3, and field4 are the names of program-to-system
|
||
|
|
fields. The fields must exist in the same record format as the LINE keyword
|
||
|
|
and be defined as having length 5 with 3 decimal positions, data type S (zoned
|
||
|
|
decimal), and usage P (program-to-system).</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>The line-length parameter
|
||
|
|
is required and defines the length of the line. Valid values are 0.001 to
|
||
|
|
57.790 cm (0.001 to 22.750 in.). The parameter can be a program-to-system
|
||
|
|
field. The field must exist in the same record format as the LINE keyword
|
||
|
|
and be defined as having length 5 with 3 decimal positions, data type S (zoned
|
||
|
|
decimal), and usage P (program-to-system).</p>
|
||
|
|
<div class="p">The line-width parameter
|
||
|
|
is required and defines the width of the line. Valid values are 0.001 to 57.790
|

|
|
cm (0.001 to 22.750 in.). The parameter can be a program-to-system field.
|
||

The field must exist in the same record format as the LINE keyword and be
|

|

defined as having length 5 with 3 decimal positions, data type S (zoned decimal),

and usage P (program-to-system). Instead of a numeric value or program-to-system

field, the following special values can also be specified:

|

|
|
for the position-down, position-across, line-length, and line-width parameter
|
||
|
|
values. If the value specified for a parameter is outside the valid range,
|
||
|
|
it is flagged when the spooled file is created.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Depending on printer hardware, lines smaller than approximately 0.004
|
||
|
|
in. (0.010 cm) might not print because of printer resolution. No message is
|

issued when this occurs.</li>

<p>The line-direction parameter is required and can have
|
||
|
|
a value of horizontal (*HRZ) or vertical (*VRT).</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>The line-pad parameter
|
||
|
|
is optional. It specifies where the line-width value is placed in relationship
|
||
|
|
to the actual line coordinates. For example, if line-width is 5 and line-pad
|
||
|
|
is *TOP, the line extends above the point identified by the position-across
|
||
|
|
and position-down parameters. Valid values are *TOP and *BOT for *HRZ lines,
|
||
|
|
and *LEFT and *RIGHT for *VRT lines. The defaults are *BOT for horizontal
|
||
|
|
lines and *RIGHT for vertical lines.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>The optional color parameter lets
|
||
|
|
you specify the color of the line. Specify the color as an expression in one
|
||
|
|
of the following forms:</p>
|
||
|
|
<ul><li>Color name method: <samp class="codeph">(*COLOR color-name)</samp></li>
|
||
|
|
<li>RGB (red/green/blue) color model: <samp class="codeph">(*COLOR *RGB rvalue gvalue bvalue)</samp></li>
|
||
|
|
<li>CMYK (cyan/magenta/yellow/black) color model: <samp class="codeph">(*COLOR *CMYK cvalue
|
||
|
|
mvalue yvalue kvalue)</samp></li>
|
||
|
|
<li>CIELAB color model: <samp class="codeph">(*COLOR *CIELAB lvalue c1value c2value)</samp></li>

<li>Highlight color model: <samp class="codeph">(*COLOR *HIGHLIGHT hvalue coverage)</samp></li>
|

</ul>

<p>When the LINE keyword is specified on a record format, all fields
|

within the record format must be positioned using the POSITION keyword.</p>

|
|
<p>An
|
||
|
|
error message is issued if a constant field is specified in a record format
|
||
|
|
where the LINE keyword is also specified.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>An error message is issued
|
||
|
|
at print time if the line does not fit on the page.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Specify DEVTYPE(*AFPDS)
|
||
|
|
on the CRTPRTF command when LINE is specified in the file. If DEVTYPE is changed
|
||
|
|
to anything other than *AFPDS, the keyword is ignored and a warning message
|
||
|
|
is issued at print time.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>You can specify this keyword a maximum of 40
|
||
|
|
times on a record.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>You cannot specify LINE with the following keywords:</p>
|
||
|
|
<ul><li>SPACEA</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>SPACEB</li>
|

<li>SKIPA</li>
|

<li>SKIPB</li>
