Standard Codes for <strong>Report</strong>s in <strong>Report</strong> Card <strong>Report</strong> Writer<br />

Code<br />

~GHSTART~<br />

Start of Grand<br />

Header (printed at<br />

the beginning of a<br />

report)<br />

~GHEND~End of<br />

Grand Header<br />

Description<br />

All the lines between the ~GHSTART~ and ~GHEND~ codes<br />

make up a Grand Header. The Grand Header prints at the top of<br />

the first page of a report only. Codes that may be used in a Grand<br />

Header are listed below:<br />

• ~L1~ thru ~L17~: School Information fields (1 thru 17)<br />

• ~GR~: Student’s Grade Level (2 digits)<br />

• ~SF~: Search Field<br />

• ~TF~: Sort Field<br />

• ~SFC~: Search Field(s) and Criteria<br />

• ~DATE~: Current Date<br />

• ~T#.#~: Tab Code (in inches)<br />

~LFOFF~<br />

Line Feed Off<br />

~LFON~<br />

Line Feed On<br />

~LPI:X~<br />

Lines Per <strong>Inc</strong>h<br />

Turns off the printer's line feed so that the next line can be an<br />

underline. If you do not turn it back on again, the printer will stay at<br />

the same line.<br />

Turns the printer's line feed on again after it has been turned off by<br />

LFOFF.<br />

The Lines Per <strong>Inc</strong>h code determines the number of lines per<br />

vertical inch. This code was added to the <strong>Report</strong> Writer so that<br />

certain portions of a report could have a fixed Lines Per <strong>Inc</strong>h<br />

setting, regardless of the font height. As a result, users have a<br />

wider range of font options to choose from when generating reports<br />

on pre-printed forms.<br />

Essentially, the Lines Per <strong>Inc</strong>h code causes large print to cram<br />

together and smaller print to expand in order to adhere to the lines<br />

per inch setting. X represents the lines per inch in character<br />

spaces. It may be replaced with a 1 through 10, with 10 being the<br />

most tightly spaced. When there is no Lines Per <strong>Inc</strong>h code present,<br />

or when the code reads ~LPI:0~, the lines per inch is determined<br />

by the size of the font.<br />

~PGSTART~<br />

Page Start<br />

~PGEND~ Page<br />

End<br />

All the lines between the ~PGSTART~ and ~PGEND~ codes make<br />

up a Page Header. The Page Header prints at the top of every<br />

page of a report. Page Headers are used on lists that DO NOT<br />

require a search. Often times, Page Headers contain page<br />

numbers.<br />
