$LPPRTL

The $LPPRTL macro is used to define print lines in the PAGEDEF modules. These are used to determine where to print the lines, and how many lines to be printed on each page. A chain of print lines can be defined for one PAGEDEF for one device type.

$LPPRTL ACROSS=<999 | 300>,   
       CHAN=<'x' | ' '  >     
       COUNT=<999 | 40  >     
       DOWN=<999 | 300  >     
       END=<YES | NO  >       
       FONT=<'xxxx' | '    '>,
       LINESP=<99 | 50  >     

$LPPRTL Parameters

This section describes the &LPPRIL parameters.

ACROSS=999|300

This parameter specifies a position relative to the PAGEDEF for the first line in this print line. The default value is 300.

CHAN='x'|' '

This parameter specifies a channel to be used when a skip to channel is to be performed. The default value is SPACE.

COUNT=999|40

This parameter specifies the number of records from the file, which can be printed within this print line definition.

DOWN=999|300

This parameter specifies a position relative to the PAGEDEF for the first line in this print line.

END=YES|NO

The parameter effects are:

• YES—Ends this chain of print lines. If END=YES is specified, this must be the only parameter specified.
• NO—(Default) This is a normal invocation of the macro.

FONT='xxxx'|' '

This parameter specifies a font to be used for this print line. See selection hierarchies below. The default value is SPACES.

LINESP=99|50

This parameter specifies a vertical spacing done between lines in this print line. This parameter does not have a default value. If LINESP=0 is specified, CA Spool does not add any Printer Control Language commands to the file that is being processed. This allows files that have embedded Printer Control Language commands to print based on user-supplied commands and not under the control of CA Spool added commands.
