Codes to Create Skill and Nonskill-based Report Cards
~CNXN:#.#~
This code centers school information on report headers. You may view and edit school
information from the Customize Data Base program, or by choosing File-Customize-
School Information from the upper toolbar.
The #.# after the colon is the number of inches in which to center the entry. On a normal
8 ¾ x 11 inch piece of paper, with ¾ inch margins on either side, # would be replaced
with 7.5.
The X may be replaced with an N, U, S, C, or P
N: Centers Name of school
U: Underlines the school name
S: Centers school’s Street address
C: Centers City, State & Zip of school on a single line
P: Centers the Phone # of school
For example: ~CNNN:7.5~ would center your school name on a standard piece of
paper.
~HLINE:XY~
This header line report writer code prints a solid line from margin to margin. The X
variable indicates the width of the line, with 1=thin, 2=medium and 3-thick. The Y
variable indicates the position of the line, with 1=top, 2=middle and 3-bottom. For
example, to print a solid bold line running from one side of the paper to the other,
dividing the heading of a report from the report body, place an ~HLINE:31~ code on
the line directly above the header end code.
~ULINE:X:Y~
This code prints an underline starting at X (in inches) and ending at Y on a line of a
report. This code is meant to be used on a report writer line with other text and codes,
including other ~ULINE~ codes (i.e. you may want to underline more than one item on
a line).
~VLINE:Y1:Y2~
Prints a Vertical Line starting from the Y1 coordinate, and ending at the Y2 coordinate,
“Y” being the number of inches from the top margin. Use a tab code in conjunction
with the vertical line code to affect the X coordinate. For example,
~T5.0~~VLINE:1.0:4.0~ will print a three inch vertical line starting 1 inch from the top
margin, and moved 5 inches from the left-hand margin.
~ENDPAGE~
This code tells the program where to start a new page.Whenever the report writer encounters
an ~ENDPAGE~ code, the report will move to the beginning of the next page.
~ENDPAGE~ codes are commonly used in Search Headers so that each found search
