Standard Codes for Reports in Report Card Report Writer
Code
~WRAPON~
Word Wrap On
~WRAPOFF~
Word Wrap Off
Description
Word Wrap will be performed on all the lines of text between the
~WRAPON~ and ~WRAPOFF~ codes. You may use the word
wrap codes as many times as necessary in a report. Word Wrap is
generally used in letters.
~UNIVERS~
Identifies a Search
Header as a
Universal Header
Because the text in letters oftentimes contain variables that get
replaced with entries from the data base (“Your son ~FN~…"), the
length of a line containing the variable may get longer or shorter
depending on the length of the data base entry replacing it. Without
the word wrap codes, any line exceeding the margin settings will
be truncated. On the other hand, if the line is very short, it will print
“as is” and look awkward. Using the word wrap codes, words that
go beyond the right margin will scroll down to the next line, with the
rest of the lines below it being adjusted accordingly. Similarly, if the
line does not fill the available space, words from the line below will
move up to fill the gap.
In order to maintain spacing between the first word in the line and
the last word in the line above it, there is one space at the
beginning of every line inside the word wrap codes. If the end of a
line ends in the middle of a word, do not leave a space so that both
halves of the word will be joined.
For a sample of this feature, go to View/Edit Letters/Reports in
Data Base Plus and select report #42, the Sample Letter. Note that
the heading and signature line are outside the word wrap codes.
When using the word wrap codes, leave a blank line between
paragraphs. Also, Tab codes should never be used “inside” of word
wrap codes.
A ~UNIVERS~ Search Header acts as a grand header when a
search and sort is not being performed. This code enables reports
with Search Headers (~SHSTART~ ~SHEND~) to be used both
when searching on a category, and when printing reports for ALL
STUDENTS ALPHABETICALLY or INDIVIDUAL STUDENTS. The
~UNIVERS~ code must be the first code in the Search Header.
