$LPFDEF

The $LPFDEF macro is used in the FORMDEF modules to describe the FORMDEF or COPYGROUP for each device type.

The four offsets (ACROSS, BACK, DOWN, and UP) are used in the position absolute command, if the appropriate xxORG on the $LPDEV was specified as PAPER. Two of the offsets are used in the calculations for a position command. The offsets are determined by how the position absolute command of the printer must be used for the present orientation.

$LPFDEF ACROSS=<999 | 300>,          
    BACK=<999 | 300>,            
    CMD=<YES | NO>,              
    DOWN=<999 | 300>,            
    NAME=<xxxxxxxx | formdefname>,
    END=<YES | NO>,              
    ORIENT=<PORT | LAND>,        
    UP=<999 | 300  >             

$LPFDEF Parameters

This section describes the &LPFDEF parameters.

ACROSS=999|300

This parameter is the offset to the PAGEDEF. The default value is 300.

BACK=999|300

This parameter is the offset to the PAGEDEF. The default value is 300.

CMD=YES|NO

The parameter effects are:

• YES—A command skeleton is present to be used at file initiation.
• NO—(Default) No command skeleton is present to be used at file initiation.

DOWN=999|300

The parameter is the offset to the PAGEDEF. The default value is 300.

END=YES|NO|NAME

The parameter effects are:

• YES—Ends this chain of FORMDEFs for this device type. If END=YES is specified, this must be the only parameter specified.
• NO—(Default) This is a normal invocation of the macro.
• NAME=xxxxxxxx|formdef

This parameter selects a COPYGROUP with an Invoke Medium Map control record. The default value is FORMDEF name

ORIENT=PORT|LAND

The parameter effects are:

• PORT—(Default) Orientation for this FORMDEF for the device type is portrait.
• LAND—Orientation for this FORMDEF for the device type is landscape.

UP=999|300

This parameter specifies the offset to the PAGEDEF. The default value is 300.
