User-defined Constants Print Functions header= - Designate header entry footer= - Designate footer entry Syntax: header=rs footer=lf Description: To designate a header and/or footer to be printed respectively at the top and bottom of each sheet on which multiple forms (lots) are printed (e.g., multi-lot labels, loan invoices or other reports). Include either or both of these parameters (in the "body" entry) to furnish the names of the header and footer FORMCAP entries to be printed (see "Appendix D:," page D-4). The value entered for here is the two letter short name for the header or footer entry (in lower-case letters to prevent its long name from showing on the "Form" menu). If the number of lots in the print list (or loan) is greater than will fit on a sheet, MUSE prints additional sheets each containing the header and footer as specified. loandata=on - Retrieve loan information for label Description: To print labels that contain loan information it is necessary for MUSE to retrieve the data associated with that loan. For a label, such as 'On Loan to:' tags, include this optional parameter. During printing you will be prompted for a loan number if you didn't retrieve the print list by loan number. Enter the value appropriate to the catalog numbers being printed. tray# - Set tray number Description: Sets paper tray number for Hewlett-Packard LaserJet. Use tray#2 for manual feed of paper in a Hewlett-Packard laser printer. For convenience in a FORMCAP entry, a user can define repeatedly-used values as constants. Such optional user-defined constants might include items such as left_margin#, large_step#, medium_step#, and small_step# (see "Appendix D:," page D-1). add_county - Print " Co." after county data Description: Include this print function to print the abbreviation for county after county data when the Ocean/Continent field contains "North America" and the Country field contains "USA". When used, the word "County" (or "Co.") need not be typed during data entry for North America/USA Locality records. On the print control line, county data must be the last item specified to be printed. all_caps - Convert the current line to all caps Description: This function should be included if you want all text on the current control line to be printed in all capital letters. block - Print graphic block (obsolete, see box) Syntax: " " block_22376160_10000_100 (prints a horizontal black line approx. 120 mm long) " " block_22376160_2237616_10 (prints a gray block approx. 120 x 12 mm in 10% black) Description: Prints a graphic block (on a Hewlett-Packard LaserJet), with parameters width, height, and density, above and to the right of the current position. Width and height are in Scaled Point (SP) units equal to 1/65536 of a point (1 point = 1/72 inch); density is in percent. Always include " " (double quotes around a space followed by another space) before the word "block" if it is the only text on the line. 12-6 12 FORMCAP
ox - Print graphic block or line Syntax: " " box_120.0_0.1_100 (prints a horizontal black line 120 mm long) " " box_120.0_12.0_10 (prints a gray box 120 x 12 mm 10% black) Description: Prints a graphic block (on laser printers), with parameters width, height, and density, above and to the right of the current position. Width and height are in whatever units are specified for the formcap (e.g. millimeters); density is in percent. Always include " " (double quotes around a space followed by another space) before the word "box" if it is the only text on the line. commaize - Add comma to number Description: Adds commas to numbers with four or more digits. current_date - Prints the current date Description: Prints the current date in the format 12 January 1988. date_convert - Convert date format Result Syntax: date_convert (23 September 1990) date_convert_mm/dd/yyyy (09/23/1990) date_convert_dd/mm/yyyy (23/09/1990) date_convert_dd-MMM-yyyy (23-SEP-1990) date_convert_dd-RRRR-yyyy (23-IX-1990; 04-VIII-1990) Description: Converts printing format for a date, stored as date data type, so that it prints in specified format. The date must be the first item to be printed on the current control line. If neither date_convert nor two_date_convert is specified, the date is printed in dd-MMM-yyyy format. delete_if_empty - Delete if empty Description: For the current control line, causes nothing to be printed(literal text or data) if the second character in the string or value to be printed is blank. Useful for single field latitude and longitude to suppress printing of degree, minute and second symbols when those fields are empty. end_paragraph - Ends a paragraph Description: Include this function on the last line of a paragraph (see below). Can be included with paragraph on a single line. All position specifications after the line with the paragraph function, up to and including the line with the end_paragraph should be entered as (#, #). font - Set font Syntax: font_p_def_12_10_u_l_elite font_p_def_0_18_u_b_helvetica font_p_def_10_10_i_b_courier Description: Sets the font for the current control line; if not specified, the default font)a required parameter)is used. See default_font=, page 12-4 under "Required parameters," for details. get_current_page - Prints current page number Syntax: " " get_current_page Description: Similar to get_page, but only prints the actual page number.
