2. Create Corner Frames Create Create Corner Frames Create This command allows you to crate Corner Frames for your forms Similar to the BOX command you define starting and ending points but in addition you specify the length of the horizontal and vertical arms of each corner frame The basic command for creating Corner Frames is ER EG Vis HL Table 22 Corner Command Field Function Option Modifier Selections CORNER This is the command specifier Using the following parameters creates a set of corners around a specified area of the form ata specific line thickness and length of vertical and horizontal arms of each corner Enter CORNER LT Dictates the line thickness Line thickness is based on dot increments 1 72 horizontally and vertically Line thickness is only limited by your specifications Do not forget the parameter delimiter The SR SC ER and EC parameters use the same methods for defining the CORNER Print area Whether in columns or dots depends on the SCALE Command You may also use the XX YY format for plotting duplication print locations explained earlier in the Standards Section SR Plots the starting ROW of the Enter a value ranging from 1 to one less corner than the maximum form length and the parameter delimiter SC Plots the starting COLUMN of the Enter a value ranging from 1 to one less corner than the maximum form width an
3. Earlier we created a logo named BOMB and a form called JobAppl Now let s modify our earlier work and put them together with some Alphanumerical commands line commands and a BOX command to create a Job Application for a company called Demolitions Are US The logo we designed is fine the way it is but to create a form that will fit on a page of this manual we will have to modify the BOX and CREATE Form command in the examples we used earlier The overall form dimensions will be 5 6 inches wide by 8 5 inches long It will be printed at 10 CPI and 6 LPI These figures give us a maximum line length of 70 columns and form length of 51 lines form length in dot rows would be 612 We have already created and stored the logo for the form Now we will create the form itself First enter the CREATE Form Mode CREATE JobApp1 612 After we enter the CREATE Mode create a border for our form by sending a BOX Command specifying a box of 3 points thickness that prints three columns from the left and right edge and three lines from the top and bottom edge BOX 3 3 3 48 52 STOP We started our form creation and added a border now we will compose the items that will go inside the box Remember that the BOMB logo we created earlier has a superimposed D on it The bomb is going to be part of the company title on the form To finish the form header create an Alphanumeric string with the remaining characters of the title to alig
